Pre-match preview

Willem II

Justin Hoogma is a long-term absentee for Willem II with a knee injury, having started just twice in the last five matches. Kasper Boogaard is a doubt this weekend because of a knock, despite starting three of the last five games himself.

In central midfield, Calvin Twigt made the better impression than Boogaard in their appearances in the same role and looks set to keep his place regardless of Boogaard's fitness. At centre-back, Maxim Dekker is in line to continue alongside Finn Stam, having shared that role with Mats Lemmens and, when fit, Hoogma. Hoogma made the stronger impression of the latter two.

Vito van Crooij is also a doubt for Willem II because of an ankle problem, on a weekend when Stegeman's side sit 17th with two points from their opening six matches.

Fortuna Sittard

Fortuna Sittard travel to Willem II without Siebe Wylin, who has started just two of the last five league games and is not expected back until October.

In midfield, Mohamed Ihattaren has continued to shift between the right side and a more central role alongside Edouard Michut, with Michut also used in both positions. Up front, Ole Romeny is expected to start, with Anthony Descotte the alternative after coming off the bench against Ajax, having started three of the previous four games himself.
