Go Ahead Eagles team overview
Go Ahead Eagles make the trip to Rotterdam with confidence after securing a superb 4:1 victory against Willem II last weekend.
The visitors fell behind early before Soren Tengstedt levelled midway through the first half. Further goals from Melle Meulensteen, Erik Flataker and Julius Dirksen secured a superb opening day success.
Go Ahead had failed to win any of their final five games of the 25/26 campaign before a strong pre-season saw them claim five wins from seven warm-up fixtures. Six of those games finished with at least three goals scored.
Defensive issues led to some high-scoring contests with their final three games of the season ending with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
Gerrit Nauber, Pim Saathof and Robbin Weijenberg are likely to miss Sunday’s contest through injury.
