Changes in the lineups
Many changes in the line-ups for both teams. For example, Grim will not start today with striker Parzyszek, but it looks like Konings will play as a striker. Ahmed El Messaoudi was absent on Friday, but he will return to the starting line-up. Rui Mendes starts back in the starting line-up for the first time since his injury. He was allowed to play ten minutes against ADO Den Haag. Top scorer Ben Scholte starts on the bench.
There are also some necessary changes at FC Groningen. The most striking thing is that Kevin van Veen starts on the bench. Lukkien also changes goalkeeper. Verrips can take a seat on the bench, Hidde Jurjus defends the goal.
