Go Ahead Eagles approach this match following a 3-1 defeat against Nice, marking their fourth consecutive loss in this Europa League: the only goal for the team was scored by Finn Stokkers. The team managed by Melvin Boel is expected to maintain their usual tactical system in a 4-3-3 formation, relying on a vertical style of play and lethal offensive transitions. In the advanced sector, the trio formed by Mathis Suray, Oskar Siira Sivertsen, and Victor Kaj Edvardsen promises to create difficulties for any defensive line, combining speed, creativity, and goal-scoring instinct. When advancing to the offensive process, the team tends to prefer the right flank, taking advantage of the overlaps of captain Mats Deijl. Gerrit Nauber and Robbin Weijenberg are sidelined for this match due to injury.
