FC Groningen play host to guests Almere City at Euroborg in their Eredivisie clash on Sunday. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.

FC Groningen go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 Eredivisie drawn game versus Heracles Almelo. It looks as if Trots van het Noorden look set to use the 4-4-2 formation and select Etienne Vaessen, Finn Stam, Marco Rente, Thijmen Blokzijl, Marvin Peersman, Luciano Valente, Joey Pelupessy, Johan Hove, Jorg Schreuders, B. Willumsson and Thijs Oosting.

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the FC Groningen boss Dick Lukkien to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Fofin Turay misses out.

How FC Groningen could look for the game against Almere City

Almere City head into the match following on from a 3-0 Eredivisie win with the downing of SC Heerenveen in their last match. It’s our belief that De Zwarte Schapen might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Nordin Bakker, Hamdi Akujobi, Joey Jacobs, Théo Barbet, Vasilios Zagaritis, Anas Tahiri, Thom Haye, J. Ritmeester van, Adi Nalic, Junior Kadile and Thomas Robinet.

In an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the Almere City gaffer to be concerned about. Baptiste Guillaume (Foot injury) won’t be playing here.
