ℹ️ Team News: Excelsior
Mike van Duinen (Unknown Injury), Lennard Hartjes (Knee Injury), Jacky Donkor (Knee Injury), Kik Pierie (Ankle Injury), Raphaël Eyongo (Ankle Injury), Couhaib Driouech (Hamstring Injury) and Adrian Fein (Ill) won’t be able to feature for Excelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen.
We think that Roodzwarten will probably employ a 4-3-3 formation this time featuring Stijn van Gassel, Siebe Horemans, Casper Widell, Sven Nieuwpoort, Arthur Zagre, Cisse Sandra, Redouan El Yaakoubi, Julian Baas, Oscar Uddenaes, Nikolas Agrafiotis and D. Sanches Fernandes.
📋 Team News: Almere City
Almere City boss Alex Pastoor has not got a full squad to pick from. Kornelius Hansen (Unknown Injury), Danny Post (Unknown Injury), Faiz Mattoir (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Milan Corryn (Unknown Injury) miss out here.
We believe De Zwarte Schapen seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Nordin Bakker, Hamdi Akujobi, Damian van Bruggen, Theo Barbet, Sherel Floranus, Peer Koopmeiners, Alvaro Pena, Rajiv van La Parra, Lance Duijvestijn, Yoann Cathline and Thomas Robinet.
💡 Prediction
Almere City are certainly able to find the back of the net against this Excelsior team, however that probably won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We can see a close game with a 2-1 win for Excelsior at full-time. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
