Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Volendam and Zwolle take on each other at Kras Stadion in the opening match of Saturday’s program in the Eredivisie round 14. Volendam are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, but it has to be noted that they faced a tough fixture list in November. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Joey Antonioli, Luke Le Roux, and Koen Blommestijn remain doubtful. Matthias Kohler is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Zwolle, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to PSV (0-4) and Waalwijk (1-2), and seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Matthias Kohler’s charges. As for the away team, midfielder Samir Lagsir is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Zwolle):
Founded on June 12, 1910, PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club which competes in the Eredivisie. Zwolle have yet to win the national championship, but they did remarkably well to lift the Dutch Cup trophy in 2014. Ron Jans’s troops impressed in the title game, with the team rolling over Dutch giants Ajax 5-1.
The Blauwingers play their home games at MACPARK Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,000 people. The multi-use stadium was opened on August 29, 2009. Zwolle’s home kit is blue and white, while the colour of their away jersey is green and white. In the 2014/15 season the Blauwingers represented the Netherlands in the Europa League, with the team losing to Sparta Prague in the play-off round.
The likes of Henk Timmer (237), Johan Hansma (231), Bert Konterman (219), Arne Slot (208), and Jasper Drost (182) are the players with the most league appearances for the club. Go Ahead Eagles are considered the club’s biggest rivals as both teams are located at the river Ijssel.
