📰 Team News: Go Ahead Eagles
Søren Tengstedt (Broken foot) and Jakob Breum (Foot injury) will not be taking part for Go Ahead Eagles manager Paul Simonis.
In our view, Trots aan de IJssel look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Jari De Busser, Mats Deijl, Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer, Dean James, Evert Linthorst, Enric Llansana, Oliver Antman, Victor Edvardsen, Mathis Suray and Milan Smit.
🗞️ Team News: Willem II
Willem II boss Peter Maes has not got a full squad to pick from. Amine Lachkar (Groin surgery) and Dani Mathieu (Knee injury) can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that Tricolores could decide to play in a 5-3-2 system, going with Thomas Didillon, Tommy St. Jago, Raffael Behounek, Erik Schouten, Mickael Tirpan, R. T. Sigurgeirsson, Jesse Bosch, Boris Lambert, Ringo Meerveld, Jeremy Bokila and Kyan Vaesen.
🔮 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Go Ahead Eagles look set to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they line up against Willem II, who might well find it difficult to score themselves.
We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Go Ahead Eagles when all’s said and done.
