MVV Maastricht

MVV's cup defeat to Excelsior offered Andries Jonker some encouragement despite the 3-0 scoreline. His side were missing nine players, yet Thijme Verheijen, Lennerd Daneels and Olivier Dumont all had opportunities in the first half. Verheijen has been used as a makeshift striker in consecutive matches and could continue in that position as Jonker works around his squad's limitations.

Robert Klaasen provides the main selection question in midfield. He scored the equaliser against FC Den Bosch but remained on the bench throughout the cup tie. A return alongside Elias Sierra is plausible, although Delano Asante started against Excelsior. Finn Dicke and Sven Bouland could again form the central defensive pairing, with Yaël Liesdek on the left. The challenge is to retain the attacking intent shown in midweek without leaving the back line so exposed.

VVV-Venlo

Mohammed Odriss's two-match suspension forces Marinus Dijkhuizen to change a midfield that helped VVV produce four goals at FC Dordrecht. Odriss set up both Thomas Janssen and Ismail Oulad M'Hand in that league victory, but his late red card against Vitesse rules him out of the derby. Replacing his attacking contribution matters as much as finding another name for the team sheet.

Tristan Schenkhuizen is back among the available midfield options after appearing as a substitute in the cup tie. There is better news elsewhere: Éanna Clancy and Edhy Zuliani are both available again after missing the Vitesse match through injury. Clancy could return to central defence alongside Gabin Blancquart, while Zuliani challenges Janssen for a wide attacking place. Captain Alex Schalk and Jay de Graef remain sidelined, so Dijkhuizen still has decisions to make despite the recovery of two potential starters.
