PEC Zwolle-Waalwijk Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

PEC Zwolle

• PEC Zwolle will be missing up to six players due to injury: Furdjel Narsingh, Guyon Fernandez, Kevin Begois, Ronnie Reniers, Jesper Drost and Mateusz Klich.
• Rochdi Achenteh is suspended, meaning Bart van Hintum should deputise.
• Ron Jans, nonetheless, will name the same XI that began their goalless draw away to FC Groningen.

Waalwijk

• Mart Lieder and Dennis Rommedahl remain the only players absent through injury, but Ingo van Weert returns from suspension.
• After their last gasp victory over Feyenoord, the expectation is Erwin Koeman will name the same XI, with one possible change: Damiano Schet replacing Jean-David Beauguel on the left-flank.

Match Facts

• PEC Zwolle have drawn their last 3 matches in Eredivisie.
• PEC Zwolle have been drawing at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in Eredivisie.
• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of PEC Zwolle’s last 7 games in Eredivisie.
• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Waalwijk’s last 6 away games in Eredivisie.
• Waalwijk have failed to win their last 7 away matches in Eredivisie.
• Waalwijk have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches in Eredivisie.

Prediction

• Despite their current position of 17th in the table RKC’s form of late has been very good: two wins and a draw from their last four games, aside the 5-2 defeat away to Heerenveen.
• Their win over Feyenoord – Erwin Koeman getting the better of his brother Ronald – has injected some much needed belief in staying up as they head into the final few weeks of the first half of the season.
• They will need it when they travel to a PEC Zwolle, who have only lost once from seven games at home, although three of those matches ended in a draw.
