PEC Zwolle faces a tough challenge as they host Heerenveen at the MAC³PARK Stadion in the Eredivisie. Zwolle is desperate to break a three-year winless streak against their opponents, who are looking to extend their dominance in this fixture. This Matchday 14 encounter pits 15th-placed PEC Zwolle against 9th-placed Sc Heerenveen, with both sides eager to secure crucial points.
PEC Zwolle's Home Struggles
PEC Zwolle's home form has been a major concern this season. They've struggled to find the back of the net, scoring the fewest goals at home in the league. However, recent results, including a draw against NEC and a win over Sparta Rotterdam, offer a glimmer of hope. Coach Henry van der Vegt is looking for solutions to bolster his team's attacking prowess while addressing their defensive vulnerabilities.
Currently positioned just above the relegation playoff spot, Zwolle needs to string together positive results to create some distance from the danger zone. Avoiding defeat in this match would extend their unbeaten run at home to three games, a feat they last achieved earlier in the year.
Heerenveen's Away Ambitions
Heerenveen, fresh off a 3-1 victory against AZ Alkmaar, travels to Zwolle with the aim of extending their three-year unbeaten streak in this particular match-up. Their consistent form and superior league position make them the favourites going into this clash. They'll be looking to exploit PEC Zwolle's defensive weaknesses and capitalize on their attacking opportunities.
Match Prediction
While PEC Zwolle has shown signs of improvement, Sc Heerenveen's overall form and historical dominance in this fixture suggest they are likely to secure a victory. Expect a competitive match with both teams potentially finding the net.
- Prediction: Sc Heerenveen to win.
