    Team News

    • Anthony Correia is still grappling with a lengthy injury list, leaving Noah Ohio, Alonzo Engwanda, Kevin Paredes, Miliano Jonathans, and Artem Stepanov all unfit to play.

    • Sergio Padt is likely to lead the team from behind a defensive trio of Siebe Horemans, Nikolas Panagiotou, and Matisse Didden. Utrecht are yet to keep a clean sheet in 14 games, making defensive improvement a key focus despite their strong showing at Twente.

    • Niklas Vesterlund and Arthur Zagré are likely to play as wing-backs, surrounding Oualid Agougil and Joris van Overeem. This season, both Vesterlund and Zagré have contributed two assists, providing Utrecht with valuable creativity out wide.

    • With top scorer Stepanov and Ohio out of action, Ángel Alarcón is set to shoulder most of the attacking load after netting twice in the win over Twente. Yoann Cathline and Dani de Wit are also expected to feature in the front three, with Cathline adding two assists to his tally this term.

    • Mirjam Clifford is missing Younes Namli and Filip Krastev, and now Sherel Floranus as well after he picked up a hamstring injury early in the game against Go Ahead.

    • Jasper Schendelaar is expected to remain in goal, backed by Olivier Aertssen, Simon Graves, Nick Viergever and Damian van der Haar. Schendelaar ranks third in the Eredivisie with 4.3 saves per game, highlighting the defensive challenges faced by a Zwolle side that has conceded 22 times.

    • Tobias Sommer and Ryan Thomas are set to partner in midfield, with Thijs Oosting playing ahead of them. Oosting reinforced his claim for another start with two goals against Go Ahead, scoring twice in a 12-minute second-half burst.

    • Gilles van der Wal and Dylan Mbayo should provide the width around Sydney van Hooijdonk, who scored the equaliser last weekend. Mbayo leads Zwolle with four assists, while the probable absence of top scorer Koen Kostons from the starting lineup increases the pressure on Van Hooijdonk to find the net.
