PEC Zwolle and Go Ahead Eagles meet so often they know each other well, but the last time they faced off Go Ahead Eagles blew them away 5-0, a result that still stings for the home side. PEC Zwolle are in their worst spell of the season, losing three in a row, and their defence is leaking badly, having conceded 21 goals in 8 matches. Meanwhile Go Ahead Eagles have not won any of their last five, but they have not lost either, drawing four and scoring consistently with 19 goals from 8 matches. You can say their attack is still working, but their defence also lets opponents shoot freely. This game should be open from the start, because both sides have comparable defensive problems. Go Ahead Eagles dominate possession and shoot on target more over the last ten matches, but PEC Zwolle are at home and look likely to score from counterattacks or set pieces. The first thing to watch is how well PEC Zwolle can settle in the first half, because if they let the visitors take the lead, the game will immediately become much harder.
