The visiting Feyenoord side should be favourites in this visit to PEC Zwolle, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

Feyenoord could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a KNVB Beker game only three sleeps ago. That game, against SC Heerenveen, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Feyenoord.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Feyenoord 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 4-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
