Ajax vs Excelsior Head to Head: Can de Godenzonen Take Revenge of the Previous Fixture or Will Excelsior Script A Rotterdam Shock?

The Dutch giants, Ajax, travel to Rotterdam to take on Excelsior in a matchday 21 fixture in the 2025/26 Eredivisie. Excelsior would like to have a repeat of the scoreline of the first meeting earlier this season, while Ajax will look to make up for the mistakes they made previously.

Excelsior Rotterdam had their last taste of success against PEC Zwolle, where they won 2-1 at home. Since then, they have lost one and drawn three on the trot, and are quite close to the bottom half of the table. They will look to avoid any further slip-ups if they want to stay up in the division.

AFC Ajax haven't been up to their standards either, as they sit third in the table, 16 points below league-leaders PSV. De Godenzonen will want to avenge their defeat against Excelsior, which came in November, and try to reduce the gap between their arch rivals.
