Stats for this game
Matchup Willem II VS Excelsior
A contest without a clear owner
The balance between Willem II and Excelsior is close, and the results support that impression. Excelsior’s 3–0 away win at Willem II on 5 September 2026 is the widest separation, while their 2–1 home victory on 6 April 2018 supplies a narrower example. Those results give Excelsior a slight lift in the matchup without creating a durable hierarchy. The contest remains open to either side. That keeps the contest genuinely open.
Draws preserve the tension
The teams drew 1–1 at Excelsior on 21 April 2019 and 2–2 at Willem II on 15 September 2018. Both venues have therefore produced level outcomes alongside the wins, leaving Willem II a clear route to contest the pairing. The fixture is shaped less by a dominant pattern than by the possibility of another small margin or another stalemate. Future meetings will ask which side can turn that narrow space into separation.
