Excelsior Rotterdam
- Excelsior Rotterdam have 19 points from 17 Eredivisie 2025-2026 games to stand 14th, just one place and four points clear of Telstar (15pts from 18).
- Excelsior’s last match was a 2-1 home win over PEC Zwolle and they lost their previous Eredivisie 2025-2026 match 5-1 away at PSV Eindhoven.
- Ruben den Uil has moulded Excelsior into a pragmatic and organised side since his appointment in July 2024.
Telstar
- Telstar, meanwhile, drew 0-0 away with Malaga CF in a friendly and then lost 3-2 at home to Ajax in the Eredivisie.
- Anthony Correia’s Telstar is a different beast altogether, with a very different game plan and philosophy.
- The visitors play a high tempo and pressing game with interchangeable attacking roles to try and get their opponents running in the first half.
Head-to-Head
Excelsior have won 1 and drawn 1 of the last 2 head-to-heads, with Telstar yet to claim an away victory in this fixture.
Betting Insights
- Excelsior are slight favourites for this one at 2.18 but Telstar are worth a bet at 3.1, especially given that they haven’t lost in four consecutive road games (Won 2, drawn 2).
- Den Uil’s men have won two and lost one of their last three home games.
- Over 2.5 goals is also a decent bet here at 1.65.
Prediction
Den Uil’s men have won two and lost one of their last three home games, which is why we’re tipping them to edge out this one by the slimmest margin .
