Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sunday’s football game between Zwolle and NAC Breda will bring down the curtain on the Eredivisie round 9. Zwolle were having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team losing to AZ Alkmaar, beating Almere City, while sharing the spoils with Heerenveen. Johnny Jansen’s troops are eager to escape the danger zone, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for them.
Breda, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting win over NEC Nijmegen on Matchday 8, but given their difficulties on the road, there is a big value in betting on draw this time out. You should bear in mind that there have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last four meetings in the Dutch top flight. Sana Fernandes is banned for the visiting side, while fellow midfielder Raul Paula misses out with a knee injury.
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.
