Pre-match preview

NEC

Clement Bischoff went off injured during last week's game at Juventus, and his hamstring problem is expected to keep him out for a longer spell. Dennis Geiger, who replaced him that night, is pencilled in to start this weekend.

In goal, Gonzalo Crettaz is back in contention after missing the trip to Italy through suspension, and could return in place of Nikolas Polster, who deputised there.

Further forward, Dušan Tadić is pencilled in again, although Noé Lebreton remains the alternative for that place behind the front line.

Go Ahead Eagles

Nick Marsman's fitness for the trip to NEC was still not settled this week. Kjetil Haug is expected to continue in goal, having started Go Ahead Eagles' last five matches.

Further forward, Søren Tengstedt has been Go Ahead Eagles' standout performer over that same stretch, scoring four goals and adding two assists. He is expected to keep his place on the right of the attack.

Erik Flataker has started three of Go Ahead Eagles' last five matches but been substituted each time, coming off in the 46th, 67th and 73rd minutes. Stefan Sigurdarson is expected to lead the line on Sunday instead.
