Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie action, NAC Breda and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

Mathis Suray (12'), Stefán Ingi Sigurðarson (41'), Jakob Breum (45', 73', 76') and Joris Kramer (82') scored for Go Ahead Eagles.

📋 Team News: FC Zwolle

We are thinking that Blauwvingers could use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, handing starts to Tom de Graaff, Olivier Aertssen, Simon Graves, Tijs Velthuis, A. Garcia MacNulty, Ryan Thomas, Zico Buurmeester, Younes Namli, Thijs Oosting, Kaj de Rooij and Koen Kostons.

ℹ️ Team News: NAC Breda

In an otherwise healthy squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the NAC Breda boss Carl Hoefkens to be concerned about. Moussa Soumano (Ankle injury) misses out for this game. Leo Greiml cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our belief that De Parel van het Zuiden seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-1-2 formation, giving starts to Daniel Bielica, F. Oldrup Jensen, Denis Odoi, Clint Leemans, Boy Kemper, Mohamed Nassoh, Maximilien Balard, Kamal Sowah, Lewis Holtby, Charles-Andreas Brym and Andre Ayew.

✨ Prediction

We believe that NAC Breda certainly have the ability to put one past this FC Zwolle outfit, although that possibly won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for FC Zwolle at full-time. We’ll have to see what happens.
