The Eredivisie game at Goffertstadion on Saturday sees hosts NEC ready themselves for the visit of opponents in Willem II, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
NEC will be hoping for a better result following the 1-0 Eredivisie defeat in their last game at the hands of SC Heerenveen. We are thinking that NEC will probably use the 4-3-3 formation for this game featuring Robin Roefs, Lefteris Lyratzis, Philippe Sandler, Calvin Verdonk, Thomas Ouwejan, Dirk Proper, Vito van Crooij, Kodai Sano, Sami Ouaissa, Kento Shiogai and Sontje Hansen.
Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the NEC gaffer Rogier Meijer to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Başar Önal won’t play.
How NEC could look to take on Willem II
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Fortuna Sittard in Eredivisie action, Willem II and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. From our viewpoint, Tricolores will likely elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for T. Didillon-Hödl, Rob Nizet, Tommy St. Jago, Erik Schouten, Raffael Behounek, Jesse Bosch, Cisse Sandra, Amine Lachkar, Emilio Kehrer, Jeremy Bokila and Ringo Meerveld.
Willem II boss Peter Maes has not got a full squad to pick from. Mickaël Tirpan (inflammation), Amine Lachkar (Groin surgery) and Dani Mathieu (Knee injury) miss out here.
