Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Vitesse, NEC Nijmegen will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Zwolle in the Eredivisie round 30. Nijmegen are on the right track to book their place in the Conference League group and a win over Zwolle will see them move one step closer to meeting the goal. Sontje Hansen is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the last league match, while Calvin Verdonk is back from suspension.
Johnny Jansen’s troops, on the other hand, defeated Excelsior 2-1 in front of home fans at the weekend, but given their three-game losing run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on NEC. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of Sunday’s encounter. Earlier this term Nijmegen outplayed Zwolle 3-1 at MAC³PARK Stadion.
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.
