Cambuur will look to make a strong statement on their return to the Eredivisie when they welcome Excelsior to Kooi Stadion in the opening round of the new campaign. The hosts will be eager to build momentum from day one despite missing injured defender Daan Visser. Cambuur have won three of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 1.9 conceded per game. Their fixtures have been entertaining, producing an average of 3.4 goals, while both teams have scored in 80% of those outings. History is also on Cambuur's side, as they have won nine of the previous sixteen meetings with Excelsior.
Excelsior, though, arrive full of confidence after an impressive preseason in which they recorded six victories while scoring freely. Summer signing Daniel van Vianen is expected to make his Eredivisie debut, adding further excitement to the visitors' lineup. Excelsior have averaged 2.0 goals per away match across their last five competitive road games, with every one of those fixtures seeing both teams score. Their attacking approach should make this an open and entertaining contest.
As both sides have strong attacking numbers and BTTS trends, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (Recent statistics suggest another high-scoring Eredivisie encounter).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Friday 7 August 2026 at 19:00.
