Excelsior Team News

Although partially explained by the reduction of at least one player for much of the game, Excelsior’s collapse midweek came as a surprise, considering their recent 9-2 aggregate victory over Den Haag, with Troy Parrott from Tottenham Hotspur scoring a hat-trick in the 31st minute at home.

Marinus Dijkhuizen’s team now returns to the Stadion Woudestein needing a miracle to retain their Eredivisie status, finishing 16th on goal difference at the end of a tough season. Excelsior’s lack of discipline could cost them dearly, and relegation is very likely, although the Rotterdam-based club typically scores plenty of goals at home and hasn’t given up yet.

Arriving from Almere City in January, Lance Duijvestijn of Excelsior has registered six goals and five assists in 2024 but will miss Sunday’s match due to suspension, as a handball led to his sending off midweek. Arthur Zagre was later dismissed for a second yellow card in the first leg, so the French defender will also be unavailable. In Duijvestijn’s absence, the attacking burden falls on Troy Parrott from the Republic of Ireland.

NAC Breda Team News

NAC Breda, who barely clinched a playoff spot for promotion and relegation this season by finishing eighth in the Eerste Divisie on goal difference, have since embarked on an outstanding run of results. They easily dispatched Roda and Emmen in two-legged ties to secure a place in the final, where they quickly took the lead with a goal in the first match within the opening 12 minutes. Aime Omgba put NAC ahead, but Lance Duijvestijn of Excelsior quickly equalized. However, the latter then became both hero and villain as he conceded a penalty and received a crucial red card. Dominik Janosek of Breda calmly converted the penalty, putting the hosts in control, while substitute Elias Mar Omarsson scored two late goals in the match, confirming the victory.

The remarkable 6-2 win at the Rat Verlegh Stadium leaves Jean-Paul van Gastel’s team undefeated in nine matches, having scored 18 goals in just five playoff games so far.

Meanwhile, Dominik Janosek has been NAC Breda’s most prolific attacker this season with 21 goal involvements and is expected to support Sigurd Haugen up front, while Aime Omgba, scorer of the opening goal on Tuesday, will also play a role in the attack. Experienced captain Cuco Martina returns to his hometown of Rotterdam, where he will lead the visitors’ defense.
