Eerste Divisie
NAC Breda won five of the last ten H2H matches against Excelsior. On the other hand, the team from Kralingen won three games, with two draws. In the only meeting this season, Excelsior won 1-0. Also, it is worth noting that the encounter was the only one without at least three goals in the previous ten H2H matches.
NAC Breda team overview
After escaping relegation last season, NAC Breda's primary goal for the current campaign remained the same, but the outcome could be significantly different. With 13 Eredivisie rounds left, NAC Breda are in the relegation zone, but with only two points fewer than safety. The team from Rat Verlegh Stadion is in terrible form, having gone ten games without a win. In the most recent outing, NAC Breda played 2-2 at home against Twente. The hosts were behind in most of the match, but their excellent last thirty minutes were enough for one point.
NAC Breda are the second-worst attacking team in Eredivisie, so they added forward Amine Salama on loan from Reims on the last day of the winter transfer window. Salama has two goals and two assists in Ligue 2 this season, but he doesn't play regularly. However, for NAC Breda, the Frenchman should be a nice addition. Salama will get the opportunity to debut in his new club on Friday.
NAC Breda have almost a full squad for the game against Excelsior. Fredrik Jensen is unavailable, while Mohamed Nassoh and Boy Kemper are injured, too, but they could recover in time for Friday.

Excelsior team overview
Excelsior returned to the Eredivisie this season. They are on course to remain in the strongest Dutch competition, as Ruben den Uil's team is solid six points above the relegation zone. Excelsior have four draws in a row, but most of those matches were against significantly better teams. In the previous game, den Uil's team played 2-2 at home against Ajax. The hosts were two goals down, but they showed much more than the Dutch giant in the second half and picked up another point.
Excelsior is the worst-attacking team in the Eredivisie this season. In January, they added two wingers, and it seems to be paying off with better offense in the last couple of matches.
Mike van Duinen is injured, but there are indications that he could be ready for the trip to Breda. If he recovers, the head coach, Ruben den Uil, will have his whole team available.
