Almere City

Almere City go into the home match against FC Eindhoven sitting second in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie and still have a slim chance of winning the first period title. Anoush Dastgir's side need a convincing victory of their own while hoping league leaders Heracles Almelo drop points.

Almere responded to their defeat at FC Dordrecht by beating FC Volendam 1-0 last weekend. Enzo Cornelisse scored the only goal, while Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp made his first league appearance of the season after a lengthy injury absence. Ferdy Druijf was also fit enough to return to the starting lineup and remains the main focal point in attack. Dastgir therefore has little reason to make major changes to his winning side.

FC Eindhoven

FC Eindhoven travel to Almere following a 2-2 draw against De Graafschap. Head coach Jan Poortvliet was encouraged by his team's performance and wants them to approach Almere City with the same attacking mindset. Eindhoven are unlikely to adopt an overly defensive approach and will instead look to press aggressively and exploit space in transition.

Clint Essers is fit enough to return to the starting lineup. Simons, Mika de Jonge and Ali remain unavailable through injury, while Haddaoui is not yet match fit. Guus Beaumont faces his former club and his knowledge of Almere could be useful. Poortvliet is expected to retain an attacking setup with pace and physical presence in the final third.
