Almere City

Anoush Dastgir is expected to stick with an unchanged starting lineup despite Almere City's 2-1 defeat against FC Emmen last Saturday. The visitors were already two goals behind after 25 minutes, with goalkeeper Wessel Speel making an unfortunate mistake for the opener when his clearance struck Jack Cooper-Love and rebounded into the net. Almere improved considerably after half-time, but Ferdy Druijf's 77th-minute goal was not enough to rescue a point.

Dastgir made three substitutions at the interval against Emmen, replacing Emanuel Poku, Martin Wasinski and Milan de Haan. The changes helped Almere create more opportunities, although all three players are expected to start again on Friday. Damian van Bruggen should also continue in defence after replacing James Lawrence, who was not fit enough to start last weekend. Tiziano Vianello is likely to retain his position after making his first league start of the season against Emmen.

Roda JC

Monday's late victory over Jong FC Utrecht is expected to convince Rob Penders to retain the same starting eleven for Friday's trip to Almere City. Roda JC recovered from a half-time deficit to secure a 2-1 win, with Dyon Dorenbosch equalising in the 57th minute before Anthony van den Hurk scored the winner two minutes from time. The visitors registered twenty attempts on goal and enjoyed the majority of possession.

Penders is likely to keep faith with the players who started in Utrecht. Guilherme Peixoto and Koen Jansen were both substituted during the second half but are expected to start again. Cain Seedorf and Mitchell Paulissen should also retain their attacking positions. Roda have taken four points from their last two league fixtures and now face an Almere side that have conceded just two goals in five home matches this season.
