Helmond Sport

Helmond Sport ended a four-match run without a win by beating FC Eindhoven 3-2 last time out. Dean Huiberts was part of that victory and has started four of the last five matches on the right of the attack, though he has not finished any of them, leaving between the 56th and 68th minute each time. Mauro Lenaerts and Livio Cicero have each had one start there as alternatives.

Tijn Landheer, who started twice in that spell, was left out of the eleven against Eindhoven and played only the final six minutes. At the back, Lovro Golič and Flor Van Den Eynden have rotated at left centre-back, with Golič starting three times to Van Den Eynden's one. Frédéric Frans's side sit 17th with 12 points before facing FC Volendam.

FC Volendam

Henk Veerman is back from injury and started FC Volendam's last outing, the 1-2 home defeat to De Graafschap, taking his tally to four goals from four starts in that run. Hidde Jurjus was sidelined by the dislocated finger he sustained the week before, with Roy Steur starting in goal against De Graafschap.

At the back, Mawouna Amevor, a starter in four of the last five matches, was not in the line-up against De Graafschap and played only the final three minutes. Precious Ugwu and Mike Kleijn have both started at left-back recently. Mohammed Belfqih and Frederik Ihler also appeared late in that game. FC Volendam, seventh with 19 points, travel to Helmond Sport on Friday.
