In our view, Blauw-Zwart will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Nordin Jackers, Bjorn Meijer, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Denis Odoi, Eder Balanta, Hans Vanaken, Michal Skoras, Igor Thiago and Antonio Nusa.

From our viewpoint, Blauw-Wit seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Maarten Vandevoordt, Mujaid Sadick, Carlos Cuesta, Mark Mckenzie, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Matías Galarza, Patrik Hrosovsky, Anouar Ait El Hadj, Bilal El Khannous, Alieu Fadera and Tolu Arokodare.
