โน๏ธ Team News: FC Twente
The FC Twente manager Ron Jans has no fitness worries at all coming into this clash owing to a completely injury-free group available to select from.
It seems likely that De Tukkers could employ a 4-1-4-1 system for this game featuring Lars Unnerstall, Joshua Brenet, Mees Hilgers, Robin Propper, Gijs Smal, Ramiz Zerrouki, Vaclav Cerny, Michel Vlap, Anass Salah-Eddine, Virgil Misidjan and R. van Wolfswinkel.
๐ Team News: AZ
AZ manager Pascal Jansen has some current player fitness concerns. Sam Beukema (Knee Injury), Zinho Vanheusden (Unknown Injury), Bruno Martins Indi (Thigh Problems), Sem Westerveld (Knee Injury), Dani de Wit (Foot Injury) and Riechedly Bazoer (Knee Injury) canโt be considered.
From our viewpoint, AZ appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Mathew Ryan, Yukinari Sugawara, Wouter Goes, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Milos Kerkez, Tijani Reijnders, Jordy Clasie, Sven Mijnans, Jens Odgaard, Jesper Karlsson and Evangelos Pavlidis.
โจ Prediction
We feel that AZ should be able to get a goal against this FC Twente lineup, but that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.
Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for FC Twente at the end of the match. Hopefully this is a good one.
Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
