The FC Twente manager Joseph Oosting doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of before this match thanks to a fully healthy squad available for selection.

In all likelihood, De Tukkers will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Lars Unnerstall, Joshua Brenet, Mees Hilgers, Robin Propper, Gijs Smal, Carel Eiting, Youri Regeer, Daan Rots, Sem Steijn, Michel Vlap and R. van Wolfswinkel.

Almere City manager Alex Pastoor has not got a full squad to pick from. Stijn Keller (unknown injury), Adi Nalic (unknown injury), Yann Kitala (Muscle injury) and Danny Post (unknown injury) miss out here.
