Pre-match preview

De Graafschap

Jason Meerstadt misses out against NAC Breda with an ankle injury, his first absence after starting De Graafschap's last five matches on the right of midfield.

At right-back, Nolan Martens is set to continue ahead of Joran Hardeman, with Gijs Bolk in line to start in the middle of the back four ahead of Thomas Kok; there has been little to separate either pair in recent weeks. Nart Ahmeti-Grainca, who started four of De Graafschap's last five matches on the left of midfield, drops out of the side this weekend after a brief appearance from the bench in the win at FC Emmen.

NAC Breda

Mylan Brouwers, Imran Nazih and Gabriel Misehouy were all given their first starts in recent weeks at home to Jong FC Utrecht last week. None of the three is set to keep his place for the trip to De Graafschap; Leo Greiml, who did not play last time out after starting the previous four matches, is set to return to the heart of defence.

Mohamed Nassoh is also set to return after missing that game, with two goals from his last four starts. Moussa Soumano and Jannes Van Hecke are expected to keep their places further forward, both among the more productive figures in the side's recent games.
