Pre-match preview

Almere City

Almere City look set to stick with Martin Wasinski at right-back after his first start of the recent run last week, while Joey Jacobs is expected to partner James Lawrence in the middle of the back four — a role Almere have also shared between Jacobs, Teun Bijleveld and Emmanuel van de Blaak recently.

Ferdy Druijf has five goals and three assists from four starts in his last five matches but is not expected to start, with Bas Huisman set to lead the attack in the 4-2-3-1 Almere have used in four of their last five games. Emanuel Poku, who has three goals and two assists in that spell, and Marley Dors, with two goals of his own, provide the attacking width, while Enzo Cornelisse adds a goal and two assists from central midfield.

Heracles Almelo

Heracles Almelo have two players available again before this trip to Almere City: Mario Borac has recovered from the muscle injury that forced him off against Jong FC Utrecht, and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde has also returned.

Further forward, Jean-Paul N'djoli has eight goals and an assist in his last five games, while Sem Scheperman has added three goals and two assists of his own. Heilmann's side have won all five of those matches to sit top of the table, generally alternating between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3.
