Prediction: 4-1
Zwolle
After holding star-studded PSG to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League round 3, PSV will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Zwolle on Saturday afternoon. PSV are leading the chase for the Eredivisie trophy and, no doubt, they want to keep their 100% record intact. The league leaders did well to beat AZ Alkmaar on the road at the weekend and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. All Rick Karsdorp, Jerdy Schouten, and Joey Veerman are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Johnny Jansen’s troops, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to NAC Breda and they will have a mountain to climb at Philips Stadion. As David faces Goliath in Eindhoven, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in the Dutch top flight PSV crushed Zwolle 7-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
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.
