NEC will be at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Monday for their Eredivisie clash with Excelsior, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Excelsior enter this fixture coming off the back of a 2-2 Eredivisie draw against Ajax. In our view, Roodzwarten will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Stijn van Gassel, Mimeirhel Benita, Sven Nieuwpoort, Redouan El Yaakoubi, Arthur Zagre, Kenzo Goudmijn, Julian Baas, D. Sanches Fernandes, Cisse Sandra, Lazaros Lamprou and Lance Duijvestijn.
Lennard Hartjes, Ian Smeulers, Kik Pierie, Arthur Zagré, Couhaib Driouech, Serano Seymor and Norbert Alblas won’t be playing for Excelsior gaffer Marinus Dijkhuizen.
How Excelsior could look for the game against NEC
Since being beaten in their last game against AZ in Eredivisie competition, NEC will be aiming to make amends here. We are inclined to think that NEC could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Jasper Cillessen, Brayann Pereira, Mathias Ross, Bram Nuytinck, Youri Baas, Mees Hoedemakers, Dirk Proper, Roberto Gonzalez, Tjaronn Chery, Sylla Sow and Koki Ogawa.
NEC boss Rogier Meijer has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Philippe Sandler (Hamstring injury), Bart van Rooij (Thigh problems), Kas de Wit (unknown injury), Bas Dost (heart problems) and Yvandro Borges Sanches (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.
