Feyenoord vs Excelsior prediction, preview, team news and more | Eredivisie 2023-24

Feyenoord will host Excelsior at De Kuip on Sunday in the final round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have enjoyed a largely positive season and will be looking to close out their season on a high in front of their home fans in what is expected to be head coach Arne Slot's final game in charge.

They beat 10-man NEC Nijmegen 3-2 in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point before Ayase Ueda turned home a late winner to register his third goal in as many games.

Excelsior, meanwhile, have endured a difficult campaign although they will secure automatic safety with a win on Sunday provided Waalwijk fail to win elsewhere, while a draw could also suffice. They thrashed Heracles Almelo 4-0 in their last match via braces from Troy Parrott and substitute Couhaib Driouech.

Feyenoord vs Excelsior Prediction

Feyenoord are on a six-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last 13 games across all competitions. They are undefeated on home turf since last December and are overwhelming favorites for the weekend clash.

Excelsior have lost just one of their last four matches after losing nine of their previous 10. They have, however, struggled for results on the road this season and could see defeat here.

Prediction: Feyenoord 3-1 Excelsior
