The action continues in round 29 of the Eredivisie as PEC Zwolle and FC Twente lock horns at the Mac3Park Stadion on Sunday. Joseph Oosting’s men have picked up just one point from the last nine available and will be looking to find their feet this weekend and get their quest for Champions League football back on track.
PEC Zwolle failed to pull clear of the danger zone last Saturday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Almere City after blowing a two-goal lead in the second half at Yanmar Stadion.
This followed a 2-0 home victory over 10-man Waalwijk on March 29, a result which saw their six-game winless run in the league come to an end. Zwolle have picked up 30 points from their 28 Eredivisie matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, six points above the relegation playoff spot.
On the other hand, Twente dropped two more points in their quest for UEFA Champions League qualification as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Fortuna Sittard last time out.
Joseph Oosting’s men have failed to taste victory in three back-to-back matches, losing twice and claiming one draw. With 47 points from 28 Eredivisie matches, Twente are currently fifth in the league standings, six points off fourth-placed Utrecht.
