ℹ️ Team News: NAC Breda

It looks as if De Parel van het Zuiden will probably use a 3-2-4-1 system in the match and select Roy Kortsmit, Leo Greiml, Enes Mahmutovic, Jan van den Bergh, Cherrion Valerius, Boy Kemper, Kamal Sowah, Maximilien Balard, Clint Leemans, Leo Sauer and Elias Mar Omarsson.

📰 Team News: Go Ahead Eagles

Go Ahead Eagles boss Paul Simonis has multiple availability issues to deal with. Dean James (Hamstring injury), Søren Tengstedt (Broken foot) and Jakob Breum (Foot injury) can’t be considered.

We believe Trots aan de IJssel seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Jari De Busser, Mats Deijl, Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer, Aske Adelgaard, Enric Llansana, Evert Linthorst, Oliver Antman, Victor Edvardsen, Mathis Suray and Milan Smit.

We’ve got the feeling that NAC Breda could find themselves struggling to score against this Go Ahead Eagles side who we think will likely be able to grind out a win.

Our tip is therefore for a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for Go Ahead Eagles at the end of the 90.

It should be a good one.
