We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This field uses the playing surface artifical turf, unlike Fortuna Sittard's home arena. The latest 13 games by the away team on artifical turf have resulted in 7 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.
PEC Zwolle form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eredivisie this season. PEC Zwolle have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at MAC³PARK Stadion.
Zwolle travelled for their previous game, a trip to FC Groningen that ended 1-1. Mees de Wit (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.83/10. Wit scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 34 successful passes (of 39 total).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus RKC Waalwijk that ended 0-0.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 Zwolle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Zwolle as they have a new game in only three days, a KNVB Beker match thankfully also at home. MVV Maastricht are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Zwolle means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Zwolle have conceded 7 in these home matches. Zwolle has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.
Fortuna Sittard form and stats
Fortuna Sittard have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Eredivisie, after 0-2-6 (8 played). With the Fortuna losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Fortuna play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Feyenoord (placed 2nd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Feyenoord was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Zian Flemming, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.02. Flemming hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AZ wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Fortuna have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were two victories, three draws and three defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The KNVB Beker trip to PSV.
The visiting Fortuna have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 8 games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Fortuna's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 20 goals in 8 travels. When Fortuna Sittard is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against RKC Waalwijk, Fortuna, Sparta Rotterdam, Heracles and Willem II.
