Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Zwolle play host to Excelsior at their MAC³PARK Stadion on day 29 of the current Eredivisie campaign. Zwolle are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Excelsior. Bram van Polen limped off with injury in a 5-1 loss to Utrecht, with Silvester van der Water likely to step up.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, failed to shock league leaders PSV in their last league match, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. As both Excelsior and Zwolle will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Morocco forward Couhaib Driouech suffered an injury in the last league match, with Oscar Uddenas likely to sneak into the starting XI, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
