NAC Breda’s Odysseus Velanas found the back of the net for the sixth time in six matches last time out, and he will be looking to add onto his tally on Tuesday.
Jort van der Sande was absent from his side’s defeat to Den Haag due to a muscle problem, and the 27-year-old is a doubt for Tuesday’s contest.
