Venue: MAC³PARK Stadion (14000 seats)

Struggling PEC Zwolle will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying PSV in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

PSV could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eredivisie game only four sleeps ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting PSV have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 13-2-0 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

PSV form and stats

The seven points PSV have gathered from their first three away trips in the Eredivisie is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but PSV are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

PSV are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Eredivisie against FC Groningen (placed 14th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Ajax.

The schedule is very tough for PSV now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Rosenborg is waiting in only four days.

The PSV manager M. van Bommel has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. It's not easy to score on PSV as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for PEC Zwolle, 0 draws and 9 wins for PSV. Over 2,5 goals: 9 times; under 2,5 goals: 1 game.
