Excelsior have lost their last five listed matches: 0-1 at Fortuna Sittard on 25 October, 0-4 at Heerenveen, 1-5 against Groningen, 2-2 at Ajax and 1-2 against Utrecht. Twente won 2-0 at AZ on 25 October, won 4-1 at Lincoln Red Imps on 22 October, then recorded a 1-2 defeat against Utrecht, a 1-0 win against Thun and a 1-1 draw at Fortuna Sittard.
Both teams have had six days since their last listed match; Twente's trip to Rotterdam is established, but its exact workload and any possible rotation cannot be verified. No homogeneous and verifiable set of shots, xG or pressing data was retained.
The documented head-to-heads mention a 1-0 Excelsior win against Twente on 30 August 2025, followed by a 3-0 Twente win at Excelsior on 10 February 2024. These precedents are of limited relevance, as the squads, coaches and season context may have changed.
The Twente-Excelsior match announced as a 0-0 draw on 24 January 2026 is not retained here as an established fact.
Excelsior were announced without any confirmed absences, but Noah Naujoks was doubtful in a projection published on October 29; whether he starts remains unknown. Twente were announced without Daouda Weidmann, who was suspended; Filip Thorvaldsen, Max Bruns and Stav Lemkin were listed as injured, while Lars Unnerstall and Bart van Rooij were doubtful.
These statuses came from a secondary source without a club medical announcement. Twente’s goalkeeper and defensive starters were therefore not confirmed.
Twente can support a favorable reading thanks to their 2-0 away win at AZ and Excelsior's unfavorable run, including several heavy defeats. The recent continuity of several Twente starters supports this scenario, but the possible absences of Unnerstall, van Rooij, Thorvaldsen, Bruns and Lemkin could weaken the goalkeeper position, défense and rotations.
The contrary scenario rests on Excelsior's home advantage and their previous 1-0 home win; it would be reinforced by a heavily reshuffled Twente lineup, particularly without a starting goalkeeper or several defenders. However, Excelsior provided no verified data showing a recent improvement in their box defending, transitions or set pieces.
No official lineup had been published before the deadline. The latest known lineups concerned Excelsior-Fortuna Sittard and Twente-AZ, on October 25, and did not confirm the starters for November 1.
Excelsior are indeed hosting Twente at Woudestein Stadium, in Rotterdam, in the Eredivisie, on matchday 11, on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 14 h 30 local time.
