  • Feyenoord have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

PEC Zwolle's stadium, MAC³PARK Stadion, has a artifical turf surface. Feyenoord have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Feyenoord when playing on artifical turf; 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses from eleven matches. They have scored 23 goals in these games and conceded 14.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa Conference League game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Partizan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
