    Twente
    • Six players are missing for Twente this weekend. Alec Van Hoorenbeeck, Taylor Booth, Sam Lammers, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, and Gerald Alders are missing through injury, while Arno Verschueren is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card in last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Heracles.
    • Verschueren, who led Twente's attack, could be replaced in the starting lineup by Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink, while forward Sayfallah Ltaief is pushing for a start after coming off the bench to score in that defeat.
    • Elsewhere, centre-back Max Bruns and attacking midfielder Younes Taha are pushing for starts. Sem Steijn, who has scored on 22 occasions, including eight match-opening goals, should continue playing in the pocket behind whoever starts as Twente's striker.
    Fortuna Sittard
    • Alessio da Cruz returns from suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card in the 1–0 loss at FC Groningen before the international break.
    • Head coach Danny Buijs could bring Da Cruz back into Fortuna's starting lineup following their 0–3 home loss to Sparta Rotterdam last time out. Da Cruz's return could see Edouard Michut drop to the bench, with him taking over the right-sided forward role in Fortuna's 3–4–3 formation.
    • Kristoffer Peterson will be on the other flank. Peterson and Ezequiel Bullaude have been Fortuna Sittard's main attacking threats, scoring seven and five times, respectively. Daley Sinkgraven and Onur Demir remain sidelined for the visitors, with doubts over the availability of Jasper Dahlhaus, Darijo Grujičić, Samuel Bastien, and Ramazan Bayram.
