Probable Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Heracles
They lost their Eredivisie status last season, but are almost certain to make a quick return to the Dutch Top Division. They are firing on all cylinders and have ten points advantage over third-placed Maastricht. That is important because the top two teams will be directly promoted to the Eredivisie. Statistically, Heracles is in the middle of one of the most impressive seasons in the Second Division in recent years, their goal difference says a lot at 56-23. The second-best team when it comes to scoring is Zwolle with 44 goals. Heracles have two players with double figures in goals, Emil Hansson with 13 and Samuel Armenteros with ten goals. Their goals come from all over the field, even a defensive midfielder Lucas Schoofs managed to record six goals. The home team got to this point of the Cup competition by beating Roda Kerkrade after penalties.
Probable lineup: Brouwer, Rente, Sonnenberg, Hoogma, Roosken, Schoofs, Vejinovic, Bruns, Laursen, Armenteros, Hansson.
Go Ahead Eagles
The visitors can be very happy with the way their season is unfolding. They are tenth in the Eredivisie rankings with a safe distance from teams that are fighting against relegation. They have gone ten straight games without losing, and one extra match if we count on their Cup win in the previous round against Helmond by the score of 3-1. The Eagles have only won four times in 15 matches, but they also have six draw games which gave them additional points. Their form is as good as it ever was, in the aforementioned eleven-match unbeaten streak, they took point of both Feyenoord and Ajax, and most importantly for them, they are winning matches against teams that are supposed to be their main competition to remain in the Top Division.
Probable lineup: De Lange, Deijl, Nauber, Idzes, Kuipers, Tekie, Llansana, Willumsson, Adekanye, Edvardsen, Lidberg.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Emil Hansson
The 24-year-old left-wing player from Sweden was born in Norway. He has played in all 19 league games for Heracles this season scoring 13 goals with eight assists. There is little doubt that he is the best player, not only in his team but in the Eerste Divisie.
