Stadion Woudestein will host Saturday’s football game between Excelsior and Heracles, the two bottom-table sides. The Rotterdammers are desperate to escape the danger zone and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Both Middendorp and Hartjes have been struggling with injuries of late, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Zwolle and they managed to get one in style (8-2). Heracles aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but given their dreadful away record (0-0-6) in the new Eredivisie campaign, home win should be considered this time out. The likes of Reine-Adelaide, Scheperman, and Cestic are out of contention with injuries, while defender Mimeirhel Benita is rated doubtful for the visiting side.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 8 November 2025 at 15:30.
