Jong AZ

Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro made his first start in goal for Jong AZ in the 1-2 defeat at Roda JC, continuing the recent rotation between the posts that has also involved Kiyani Zeggen and Ismail Ka. Alblas's side are 10th with 17 points, having won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches, a run that includes a 5-4 win over Helmond Sport and a 4-4 draw at VVV-Venlo.

At the back, Frej Andersen and Kiani Inge have rotated on the left side of central defence. Andrea Natali, who had started four of the previous five games, did not feature at Roda JC, while Bohdan Budko, who had started once in that span, played the final 33 minutes.

Almere City

Almere City sit third with 25 points after winning three and losing two of their last five matches. Anoush Dastgir changed his side for the last match at RKC Waalwijk: Jamie Jacobs and Milan de Haan were both introduced during the second half, while Damian van Bruggen also came on as a substitute after starting once in that run.

Byron Burgering, who made his only start of that spell earlier on, did not feature in the win at RKC Waalwijk. Ferdy Druijf and James Lawrence have been regular starters, featuring from the outset in all five of the latest matches, with Lawrence scoring once in that time.
