Cambuur’s first match back in the Eredivisie after a three-year absence will be a matchday one game against Excelsior in the 2026-27 campaign. This match at Kooi Stadion on Friday between the ‘Yellow-Blues’ and the ‘Red-Blacks’ is expected to be challenging for the home team, and our prediction is for an away victory.
Cambuur finished second in the 2025-26 Eerste Divisie to earn promotion back to the Eredivisie. For Excelsior, the 2025-26 season ended in 13th place in the Eredivisie, six points above the relegation zone.
A 3-1 defeat to Bologna last Friday meant Cambuur have lost three friendlies in a row. They have lost four of their six preparatory games (W2) leading up to this season, which has hindered their preparations.
One of those defeats was a 3-2 loss to Excelsior, so the ‘Yellow-Blues’ have a lot of ground to cover. Even at home, Cambuur had just one win from their last four competitive matches (D2, L1), failing to make their home advantage count.
Excelsior had a perfect preparatory campaign, winning all five of their friendlies. That included scoring five goals each in their last two friendlies against De Graafschap and Heracles.
The visitors finished last season with three wins from their last four Eredivisie games (D1). That included consecutive 3-2 away victories, so Excelsior will strive to begin this season positively.

Our Cambuur vs Excelsior Prediction
Cambuur are back in the Eredivisie after a three-year absence, but their preparations have been below par. Four defeats in six pre-season friendlies, including three in a row, suggest they could be up for a tough initiation back to the top flight. Excelsior hovered around the relegation zone last season and will hope to start this campaign positively.
Excelsior won both the Eredivisie matches when these sides last met in this division back in the 2022-23 season. That could continue here, and our Cambuur vs Excelsior prediction is Excelsior wins.
