It's the second attempt for points this league season as FC Twente and PEC Zwolle cross swords at De Grolsch Veste.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting PEC Zwolle have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-3-14 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

FC Twente have less rest than PEC Zwolle in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa Conference League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Riga, so at least FC Twente are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
