PEC Zwolle are set to host PSV Eindhoven at MAC³PARK Stadion on Sunday in their next Eredivisie fixture.
PEC Zwolle come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam nearly 20 days ago. A brace from Iranian forward Reza Ghoochannejhad and goals from Dutch midfielder Clint Leemans and Japan international Yuta Nakayama secured a comfortable win for John Stegeman's side.
To add insult to injury, Sparta Rotterdam had left-back Mica Pinto sent off in the first half.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, beat Fortuna Sittard 2-0 nearly two weeks ago at the Philips Stadion. Goals from young Netherlands international Donyell Malen and emerging star Noni Madueke sealed the victory for Roger Schmidt's men.

PEC Zwolle registered their first win of the season in their last league game. Reza Ghoochannejhad scored a brace, and much will rely on the veteran striker to lead the line and provide the goals once more.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, have enjoyed a good transfer window. Germany international Mario Gotze is the big-name signing, but midfielder Ibrahim Sangare could prove to be a shrewd acquisition. With exciting young talents like Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Ihattaren, new manager Roger Schmidt has a good squad to work with.
