Matthews finished third in the Milan-Sanremo, despite struggling to hold onto his handlebars following a fall, and will again be looking for the win in the second Monument of the revamped World Tour.
Sunweb coach Luke Roberts said Matthews and Wilco Kelderman were his team's main hopes.
"We have got some good options to go for a result in the race with a strong team," Roberts said.
"Wilco is in good form with his seventh at Tour de Pologne and Michael's good shape after his third at Milano-Sanremo last weekend will also be really helpful in our collective quest to bring home a result as a team."
