AZ will be visiting Goffertstadion on Sunday for their Eredivisie showdown with NEC. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
NEC will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-0 KNVB Beker defeat last time out to Feyenoord. It’s our opinion that NEC look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Jasper Cillessen, Brayann Pereira, Philippe Sandler, Bram Nuytinck, Calvin Verdonk, Mees Hoedemakers, Dirk Proper, Sontje Hansen, Tjaronn Chery, Kodai Sano and Koki Ogawa.
Kas de Wit, Bas Dost, Bart van Rooij and Yvandro Borges Sanches won’t be able to feature for NEC gaffer Rogier Meijer.
Possible NEC team against AZ
AZ come into this meeting after a 3-2 Eredivisie win to beat RKC Waalwijk in their last fixture. We believe AZ could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Matthew Ryan, Yukinari Sugawara, Wouter Goes, Riechedly Bazoer, David Møller Wolfe, Dave Kwakman, Tiago Dantas, Sven Mijnans, Dani de Wit, Ruben van Bommel and Vangelis Pavlidis.
AZ manager Maarten Martens has not got a full squad to pick from. Bruno Martins Indi (Back injury), Mayckel Lahdo (unknown injury), Sem Westerveld (Meniscus injury), Jordy Clasie (Groin injury) and Lequincio Zeefuik (Ankle injury) won’t be making appearances. Wouter Goes is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
