Pre-match preview

FC Den Bosch

FC Den Bosch's central defence is set to revert to its regular pairing this week, with Jasper van Heertum and Stan Maas both expected to start again after not featuring in last week's loss at Volendam, when Sheddy Barglan and Silvan Broker made their first starts in the recent five-game run.

Further forward, Devon Decorte has two goals and an assist in his last five games, and Sebastian Karlsson Grach has added four goals of his own. Bart Schreuder's side sit 17th in the table after losing four of their last five matches.

Helmond Sport

Thomas Poll looks set to continue at left-back for the trip to FC Den Bosch, in what has been an even contest with Wassim Lantaki. Lantaki has actually started more often in that role, but there's been little to separate the two in how they've played, and Poll — who started last time out against Jong PSV — is the one tipped to keep the shirt.

On the right of midfield, Livio Cicero is expected to hold off Kiton Boteti Ekoli once more; Joep van der Sluijs and Dean Huiberts have also had turns there. Cicero goes into the game on the back of two goals and an assist. Mauro Lenaerts has been even sharper in front of goal, with three goals from just two starts, but Cicero is still expected to start ahead of him.

Frédéric Frans has kept the same 4-4-2 shape throughout.
