Newly-promoted Excelsior are still searching for their first win in the Eredivisie when they welcome Dutch giants Feyenoord to the Stadion Woudestein on matchday two. Excelsior are anchored at the bottom of the table, while Feyenoord are in sixth place. Here's our match prediction.
After spending one season in the Eerste Divisie, Excelsior managed to seal promotion back to the Eredivisie. They achieved this feat by securing a second-place finish in the second division last year.
The Kralingers had an impressive showing in the pre-season games before the beginning of the 2025-26 Eredivisie season. They stormed to a five-match unbeaten run, recording four wins and a solitary draw. However, they were stopped in their tracks on the final day, losing 3-2 against Cambuur.
It was an embarrassing start to the Netherlands' top-flight league as they suffered a morale-sapping 5-0 away defeat against NEC Nijmegen.
Feyenoord are in a foul mood after failing to progress from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. On Tuesday, they were victims of a 5-2 thrashing at the hands of Fenerbahce in the second leg.
A 6-4 aggregate loss means that the Rotterdammers have now dropped into the UEFA Europa League play-off round.
Robin van Persie's men now turn their attention to the Eredivisie. Last time out, they defeated NAC Breda 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Sem Steijn and Ayase Ueda.

Our Excelsior vs Feyenoord Prediction
Excelsior's confidence has been shattered following their thrashing at the hands of NEC Nijmegen in the league opener. However, they did create a number of decent chances but lacked the finishing touch.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, failed to give a good account of themselves in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Their collapse against Fenerbahce was well-reported, and it has to do with a porous defense. There's reason to believe they'll concede a goal here. However, their victory shouldn't be doubted as they have a superior record in head-to-head meetings against Excelsior. Our Excelsior vs Feyenoord prediction: both teams to score.
