PEC Zwolle form and stats

PEC Zwolle, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Eredivisie, have collected 1 point from their Eredivisie home games so far after 0-1-3. Zwolle has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Langeler and the players.

Zwolle faced defeat in their previous match, away at PSV (1-3). Kostas Lamprou had a busy but productive day in the PSV match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Defender Bram Van Polen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.25/10. Polen won 4 of 6 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to SC Heerenveen (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how PEC Zwolle have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the KNVB Beker game versus Graafschap in only three days. This game is also played here at MAC³PARK Stadion.

Zwolle has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 4 games. Zwolle have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Heracles Almelo form and stats

The Eredivisie season is young and Heracles Almelo have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Heracles has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for Heracles Almelo, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie. As you can tell from the result, the match against Go Ahead Eagles was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Rai Vloet got a match rating of 8.14 in that game, top player of the team. Vloet scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 54 total).

Before that, Heracles Almelo secured a home win against Willem II with the score 3-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Heracles Almelo playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Heracles Almelo win, two draws and three defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The KNVB Beker trip to ASWH.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Heracles have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. Heracles have conceded 7 goals in these games.
