Player to watch – Dylan Mbayo (Zwolle)
It may seem strange to shine the spotlight on a player for the lower-ranked team here, but you’ll soon see why! Dylan Mbayo has the most assists of any player in the entire Eredivisie league, with 5 assists in 11 appearances.
This makes him a key player for Zwolle, and it also makes him a guy who could influence this game greatly unless Fortuna Sittard contains him.
