Eredivisie Showdown: Excelsior Faces Tough Test Against Feyenoord

SBV Excelsior will be looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat as they host Feyenoord Rotterdam in their second Eredivisie match of the season on Saturday, August 16, 2025. The match, taking place at the Van Donge & De Roo Stadion, promises to be a challenging encounter for the home side.

Excelsior finds themselves at the bottom of the table after a 0-5 thrashing by NEC Nijmegen in their opening game. Their defense looked shaky, and their attack struggled to create opportunities. Manager Ruben den Uil needs to find a way to shore up the defense and spark some creativity in attack if they hope to compete.

Feyenoord, on the other hand, are coming into this match with confidence after securing a win in their first match. They'll be looking to capitalize on Excelsior's poor form and secure another three points to keep pace with the league leaders.
