📋 Team News: NAC Breda

There is just one fitness concern for the NAC Breda boss Carl Hoefkens to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Cherrion Valerius (Knee injury) is out of contention.

In our view, De Parel van het Zuiden may well go for a 4-4-2 formation in the match, handing starts to Daniel Bielica, Maxime Busi, Leo Greiml, Jan van den Bergh, Boy Kemper, Leo Sauer, Dominik Janosek, Maximilien Balard, Adam Kaied, Elias Mar Omarsson and Sydney van Hooijdonk.

ℹ️ Team News: FC Twente

There’s a good chance that De Tukkers seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Lars Unnerstall, Bart van Rooij, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Alec Van Hoorenbeeck, Mathias Kjoeloe, Anass Salah-Eddine, Michal Sadilek, Daan Rots, Sem Steijn, Michel Vlap and R. van Wolfswinkel.

💭 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, NAC Breda will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this FC Twente side who we think will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore anticipating a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for FC Twente when the full-time whistle blows.

A close call.
