🗞️ Team News: FC Emmen

Jeff Hardeveld (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Metehan Güçlü (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Oussama Darfalou (Hamstring Injury), Mart Lieder (Fitness), Rui Mendes (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) and Maikel Kieftenbeld (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be available for FC Emmen gaffer Dick Lukkien.

📋 Team News: Sparta Rotterdam

From a largely healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Sparta Rotterdam boss Maurice Steijn to be concerned about. Jonathan de Guzmán (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing here. Adil Auassar will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We’re of the thinking that Kasteelheren seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Nick Olij, Shurandy Sambo, Dirk Abels, Mike Eerdhuijzen, Michael Pinto, Joshua Kitolano, Jonathan de Guzman, Vito van Crooij, Arno Verschueren, Koki Saito and Tobias Lauritsen.
