Pre-match preview

NAC Breda

Boyd Lucassen is expected to remain at right-back against Jong FC Utrecht after replacing Cherrion Valerius for the defeat at RKC Waalwijk. It was Lucassen’s first start of the season, while Valerius had started the previous four matches and been substituted each time.

Friday’s match will be Rick Kruys’s first in charge of NAC Breda. He was appointed on Tuesday after Carl Hoefkens was dismissed the previous day. Jannes Van Hecke is expected on the right of midfield, another position that has changed hands, while Thomas Goos is out with a shoulder injury.

Jong FC Utrecht

Jong FC Utrecht are expected to retain Mees Eppink in goal against NAC Breda after alternating between him and Kevin Gadellaa in recent matches. Eppink has started three of the last five games, including the goalless draw with FC Eindhoven, while Gadellaa has made two starts and did not play last time out.

The shape has also changed regularly, with 5-3-2, 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 all used across the last five league matches. Omar Rziki is expected to continue with the 5-3-2 deployed against FC Eindhoven. Viggo Plantinga should retain his place at left-back after completing every minute of that five-match run.
