NAC Breda (home)
- Excelsior Rotterdam are seven points and four positions better off than NAC Breda in Eredivisie 2025-26.
- Since Carl Hoefkens took over at the beginning of July 2024, NAC Breda have been a pragmatic, defence-first, set-piece team that sits back in a 4-2-3-1 with a rigid structure and rarely presses opponents.
- Breda have won three, drawn three and lost five of their 11 Eredivisie home matches, conceding an average of 1.45 goals per game.
Excelsior Rotterdam (away)
- Ruben den Uil’s Excelsior are more dynamic, pressing as a team, getting at it, transitioning quickly and looking to win the ball back wide up the field where they can cause problems.
- Excelsior Rotterdam have drawn four of their last five Eredivisie games (W0, L1), including a 0-0 draw at FC Twente and a 2-2 draw with Ajax at home.
- Excelsior have won two, drawn three and lost five of their ten away matches, averaging exactly 1.00 goal per game on the road.
Key Players
Breda’s Sydney van Hooijdonk tops their scoring charts for Eredivisie 2025-2026 with five goals in 18 league appearances.
