Both sides have had adequate rest since their previous game. Let's look for an active match!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Ajax have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 9-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
PEC Zwolle form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Eredivisie game of the season here at MAC³PARK Stadion. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses from PEC Zwolle's 17 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Zwolle to get some points in this home game.
PEC Zwolle are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 280 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by L. Miguel (own goal)).
Zwolle lost their last game at Willem II (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Rav van den Berg, defender, was given a rating of 7.64/10 in that game, top of the team. Berg hit one key pass and won 3 of 5 duels.
Prior to that, an away loss at NEC.No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where PEC Zwolle had similar winning odds as today, and found two games. In these, the hosts won zero, drew zero and lost two.

Ajax form and stats
One match played away so far in the Eredivisie for Ajax and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss from 17 games.
Ajax had fun at their own home (MAC³PARK Stadion) last time out, beating Vitesse 5-0. Antony, Davy Klaassen, Edson Álvarez and Ryan Gravenberch scored. Midfield player Dušan Tadić was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.03/10. Tadić hit seven key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 38 successful passes (of 43 total). As you can tell from the results above, Ajax was very dominant against Vitesse, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Antony, Davy Klaassen, Edson Álvarez and Ryan Gravenberch providing the goals.
A 1-1 draw at FC Twente's stadium before that.As mentioned earlier, Ajax will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in eleven wins (six by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and zero surprising defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Ajax now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Sporting CP is waiting in only four days.
It's early days yet, but Ajax has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
