PEC Zwolle

PEC Zwolle sacked Henry van der Vegt with immediate effect this week, and the club had not said who would lead the team against Go Ahead Eagles. The news comes with Zwolle 16th on four points after five games without a win, including a 0-7 home defeat to Feyenoord.

Ryan Thomas is in line to start in midfield again after Nick Fichtinger did not feature against Cambuur. Sherel Floranus is expected at left-back, a position he has recently shared with Damian van der Haar. Thijs Oosting and Ibrahim Cissoko should also keep their places, though neither has finished any of his last four starts.

Go Ahead Eagles

Julius Dirksen remains a doubt for Go Ahead Eagles because of a calf problem. Giovanni van Zwam made his first start of the last five matches against Sparta Rotterdam and is expected to continue at centre-back if Dirksen is unavailable.

Eighth on 11 points, Go Ahead Eagles have drawn four of their last five league matches, two of them 3-3. Melle Meulensteen and Evert Linthorst are both expected to start in midfield again. Further forward, Mathis Suray and Søren Tengstedt have each scored three goals in their last five appearances, while Victor Edvardsen has contributed two goals and an assist.
