FC Emmen form and stats
FC Emmen's struggle is real here at De Oude Meerdijk with only 3 points collected from 11 Eredivisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-8. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 22 attempts. Emmen are slowly digging their own grave here at De Oude Meerdijk with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the VVV-Venlo match.
Stress levels are on the rise for Emmen's attacking players as they have now played 482 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. de Leeuw was their last goal scorer.
The fans are hoping that Emmen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Eredivisie game against RKC Waalwijk (placed 15th). Ahead of that match, Emmen lost 0-1 at home to AZ.
FC Emmen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Emmen have allowed the opposition to score 31 goals here at De Oude Meerdijk.
PEC Zwolle form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for PEC Zwolle so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-4 (win-draw-lose).
Zwolle play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to FC Groningen (placed 6th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against RKC Waalwijk.
It's a bit worrying for Zwolle that their goalkeeper Xavier Mous made six saves in the FC Groningen game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Zwolle have scored 15 goals in 11 league games away. Zwolle's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
