Only a win will satisfy the PSV supporters in this Philips Stadion clash with PEC Zwolle, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Eredivisie table.

Insights:
  • PSV have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • PEC Zwolle have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for PSV and PEC Zwolle.

7-7-21 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for PEC Zwolle when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 35 matches are 37-71 (scored/conceded).

Zwolle is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

PSV form and stats

PSV are steadily winning Eredivisie games and points here at Philips Stadion. 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 16 games.

A good away victory last time out for PSV, who won 2-0 against Willem II (placed 15th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus SC Heerenveen.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for PSV as they are travelling to their away game against FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie. That match is three days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (35 in 16 games), PSV's attacking play is working. PSV have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

PEC Zwolle form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for PEC Zwolle so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-8 (win-draw-lose).

Zwolle failed to get anything from their last game, a Eredivisie home match vs ADO Den Haag (placed 18th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Prior to that match, the Zwolle manager B. Konterman faced defeat when travelling to Vitesse and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Zwolle's match history for similar games we find four matches. The home team won three of these as expected, three of them by at least two goals. PEC Zwolle managed one draw and zero surprise wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Zwolle are hosting FC Groningen in the Eredivisie only three days away.

Zwolle find the net regularly in their away games. 23 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, PEC Zwolle rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 31 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: PEC Zwolle - PSV 0-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: ten - zero - zero (PSV wins - draws - PEC Zwolle wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
