Pre-match preview

FC Emmen

Nelson Amadin remains out with a hamstring injury after starting four of Emmen’s previous five matches. Alessandro Hojabrpour replaced him against FC Volendam, making his first start, and is expected to continue against De Graafschap.

Freddy Quispel is expected to retain his place after starting each of Emmen’s last five games and scoring six goals during that run. Sybrand Veldhuis should also start again on the left. He has begun all five recent matches and scored twice, although he has been substituted in each of them.

De Graafschap

Nolan Martens is expected to retain the right-back place after making his first start against Heracles Almelo. Joran Hardeman had started four of De Graafschap's previous matches but did not play in the 5-0 defeat. Thomas Kok should also continue on the left of central defence, where Gijs Bolk has made three starts but missed the last match.

Fedde de Jong is in line to return to the eleven after coming off the bench against Heracles. He has one goal from three shots across De Graafschap's last five matches.
