PEC Zwolle v Heerenveen Tips

Zwolle's defense is highly vulnerable, conceding 29 goals and facing a suspended centre-back plus injuries. Their attack is modest. Heerenveen, with a healthier and in-form squad, has a stronger attack (22 goals) and better momentum. Expect Heerenveen to exploit Zwolle's defensive frailties for a comfortable away victory.

PEC Zwolle host Heerenveen. The home team has a home advantage and will fight for their one point, which they have claimed in two consecutive seasons with draws that had goals.

PEC Zwolle had a strong home record in the Eredivisie, averaging 1.8 points per game at home. Heerenveen struggled away, losing 50% of their matches. Zwolle’s balanced attack, led by Van den Belt and Thy, should be enough to secure victory against a defensively inconsistent opponent.

Zwolle have failed to score in only 3 of 13 games this season, scoring a total of 16 and conceding 29 The match favourites Heerenveen come into this game with a decent scoring record in recent games having failed to score in only 1 of their last 8 games, while scoring 2 or more goals in 6 of the 8 games, so I think whatever the match outcome, we could be on for a game with 3 or 4 goals and the bet will have to be over 2.5 goals (and maybe over 3.5 goals with likely a good opportunity to trade out if goals come in the first half)

As always, I go for BTTS Yes between these two teams. Zwolle impresses me all the time at home, scoring goals every game and conceding way too easily, and normally always as well. Form right now: 8 of the last 10 games BTTS Yes. Heerenveen has the same stats 8 of the last 10 overall games BTTS Yes. Even H2H, it's 4 in a row now.

PEC Zwolle have recorded 2 wins and 3 losses in 6 home matches in the league this season, and they have only 1 win in their last 11 matches. Heerenveen come here after 2 wins (3-1, 3-2) and 1 loss in their last 5 league matches, including 1 win and 1 loss in their last 3 away matches. At these odds, I will try Both Teams to Score and Heerenveen to win.

Home team has been involved in red cards and they must be careful in this match. If they are to get a point, they should remain at full strength and they will get a draw. Both sides have defensive weaknesses. A draw, yes.

Heerenveen averaged 1.4 goals per away match, while Zwolle conceded in 70% of home fixtures. Both teams are likely to score, but Zwolle’s superior home form and attacking efficiency, with 45 goals scored last season, make them favorites to win in a competitive, high-scoring encounter.
