Excelsior welcome league leaders Feyenoord to the Stadion Woudestein in the Eredivisie on Sunday (May 7).
The hosts are unbeaten in two league games and played a goalless draw against Vitesse last time around. Having lost once in five league games, they have taken their points tally to 28, the same as 15th-placed Emmen. Excelsior will need to avoid dropping points in the remaining four games of the season to avoid relegation.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, are on a ten-game winning run in the league, which has seen them extend their league atop the standings to eight points over second-placed PSV. In their previous outing, goals from Santiago Gimenez, Sebastian Szymanski and Alireza Jahanbakhsh helped them beat Utrecht 3-1.
