The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. PEC Zwolle are in the 11th position while the guesting FC Emmen worry at 18th.
- FC Emmen is in the worst form (0-1-5)
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike FC Emmen's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artifical turf have ended in 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses.
PEC Zwolle form and stats
PEC Zwolle have played 6 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
PEC Zwolle faced defeat in their previous match, away at Excelsior (0-2). Prior to that, an away loss at Ajax in the Eredivisie.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how PEC Zwolle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost zero.
Zwolle are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. 7 goals have been conceded.
FC Emmen form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FC Emmen, who have the fewest points (1) away in Eredivisie, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Emmen, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The VVV-Venlo game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing four defeats in a row for Emmen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus FC Twente.
Anco Jansen and Glenn Bijl scored in Emmen's previous match, the home game against FC Groningen that ended 2-1. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting ADO Den Haag in the Eredivisie.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Lukkien when Anco Jansen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
Emmen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Emmen are hosting FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie only four days away.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For FC Emmen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Zwolle seven wins, two draws and FC Emmen one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
