Pre-match preview

Heracles Almelo

Mario Borac is available again after recovering from a hamstring injury, reopening the choice between him and Maurice Wrusch at left centre-back. Wrusch is currently expected to start against Jong AZ after playing there in the win over De Graafschap.

Jean-Paul N'djoli should lead the attack after scoring nine goals and providing one assist in his last five appearances, while Tristan van Gilst has six goals and one assist over the same period. Sem Scheperman and Djevencio van der Kust are both expected in midfield. Jeff Reine-Adélaïde has returned to the squad after injury, while Fodé Fofana is unavailable through illness.

Jong AZ

Matěj Šín is no longer part of the Jong AZ squad, having started twice in the previous five matches before dropping out of the group altogether.

Rion Ichihara has generally had the better of the recent rotation at centre-back but is set to miss out again after not featuring in the 6-3 win at Dordrecht, with Andrea Natali and Mathijs Menu continuing as the pairing. Kiyani Zeggen keeps the gloves for Friday's trip to Heracles Almelo, having shared goalkeeping duties evenly with Ismail Ka this season.
