Stats for this game
Matchup Excelsior VS Twente
A narrow balance with contrasting margins
Twente have the stronger overall record, yet the pairing resists a simple hierarchy. Excelsior won 1–0 at home on 30 August 2025, and the teams drew 0–0 at Twente on 24 January 2026. Those results keep the contest close in spirit, even though Twente have also produced wider wins when the match moves in their direction.
Twente’s separation is not guaranteed
Twente won 3–0 at Excelsior on 10 February 2024 and 4–2 at home on 8 December 2023, supplying the clearest evidence of their advantage. Excelsior’s home win and the goalless draw remain important counterweights rather than proof of equal status. They show that venue and control can alter the balance from one meeting to the next. Future editions will ask whether Excelsior can keep the margin narrow again, or whether Twente can turn its wider potential into another decisive result in a different setting.
