🗞️ Team News: FC Utrecht

Luuk Brouwers (Ankle Injury), Nick Viergever (Fractured Toe), Can Bozdogan (Knee Injury) and Django Warmerdam (Knee Injury) won’t be playing for FC Utrecht manager Michael Silberbauer.

In our view, Utreg will probably use a 4-3-3 system this time featuring Vasilios Barkas, Sean Klaiber, Mike van der Hoorn, Modibo Sagnan, Ramon Hendriks, Victor Jensen, Jens Toornstra, Sander van de Streek, Zakaria Labyad, Anastasios Douvikas and Othman Boussaid.

Go Ahead Eagles boss René Hake has a number of players out of action. Willum Thór Willumsson (Unknown Injury), Bas Kuipers (Elbow Injury) and Oliver Valaker Edvardsen (Muscle Injury) will not be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Trots aan de IJssel seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Jeffrey De Lange, Mats Deijl, Jamal Amofa, Gerrit Nauber, Fredrik Oppegaard, Bobby Adekanye, Philippe Rommens, Jay Idzes, Rashaan Fernandes, Isac Lidberg and Finn Stokkers.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 2-0 victory for FC Utrecht when all’s said and done.
