FC Emmen

Casper Staring's continued absence with a knee injury remains the key team news for FC Emmen; he had started four of the last five matches before missing the win at FC Dordrecht. Alessandro Hojabrpour and Torben Rhein are expected to occupy the holding midfield positions in his absence.

Rodney Kongolo is expected to continue on the right of central defence. Joshua Mukeh has also started three of the last five matches in that position, but he was left out of the eleven against FC Dordrecht and only featured at the end of the match.

Almere City

Ferdy Druijf has a goal and an assist across the last five matches despite playing only 242 minutes, and he is expected to lead the line again after starting three of those games.

Joey Jacobs and Teun Bijleveld have shared both the right centre-back and left-back berths over that spell, each making one start in the other's more regular role alongside their usual positions. Both are expected to start against FC Emmen. Bas Huisman and Hamza El Dahri have been used more sparingly in attacking midfield, with each starting twice during the same five-match period.
