Go Ahead Eagles boss Paul Simonis has multiple availability issues to deal with. Søren Tengstedt (Broken foot), Jakob Breum (Foot injury) and Dean James (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
From our viewpoint, Trots aan de IJssel will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Jari De Busser, Mats Deijl, Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer, Luca Everink, Robbin Weijenberg, Evert Linthorst, Oliver Antman, Victor Edvardsen, Mathis Suray and Milan Smit.

Our feeling is that Go Ahead Eagles and FC Zwolle may find themselves both scoring more than one goal each in what promises to be a fairly balanced contest.
We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square with both teams likely to score. That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 2-2 when the referee blows the final whistle.
