NAC Breda

Three players are missing for NAC Breda this week. Roy Kuijpers, Dion Versluis, and Boyd Lucassen are ruled out through respective injuries, while Jan Van den Bergh returns from suspension.
Belgian centre-back and NAC captain Van den Bergh reached the yellow card threshold recently in Breda's home draw with Go Ahead Eagles and should go straight back into head coach Carl Hoefkens' starting lineup.
Following their 1-1 draw with AZ last time out, there could be minimal changes elsewhere, though it remains to be seen whether they continue in a 5-4-1 shape.
In 2024/25, NAC have been led by Leo Sauer and Ómarsson. They are the club's joint top scorers with seven goals. Sauer has scored the crucial first goal of the match five times, while Ómarsson has three such strikes.
PEC Zwolle

Olivier Aertssen, Samir Lagsir, and Tristan Gooijer are the only players unavailable for PEC Zwolle as they approach the next matchday in the Eredivisie.
After their recent 4-0 loss at Feyenoord, head coach Johnny Jansen could make several changes, with Eliano Reijnders continuing to fill in for the injured Aertssen at right-back. Central midfielder Jamiro Monteiro, attacking midfielder Odysseus Velanas, and forward Dylan Mbayo are pushing for starting roles.
Visiting Zwolle have been a threat in attack, courtesy of Dylan Vente, who has netted 13 times, including six match-opening goals. The striker is tied for fourth in goals scored in the league in 2024–25.
