PEC Zwolle, Recent FormLosing 3-1 away to FC Twente won't leave the PEC Zwolle squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had an excellent run of form at MAC³PARK Stadion recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Lennart Thy will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at MAC³PARK Stadion having scored 6 goals in PEC Zwolle's last 6 home games in the league.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormUtrecht won't feel too deflated by the 2-0 home defeat to Heerenveen, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Goalscorer Tasos Douvikas will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Utrecht.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The PEC Zwolle defence has struggled against Utreg in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 14 games. Utrecht have a decent scoring record against Blauwvingers in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
When playing away from home in the league, Utrecht have failed to win any of their last 6 meetings with PEC Zwolle, with the last 3 of those games ending in a draw.
With no real injury worries, PEC Zwolle manager Johnny Jansen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Michael Silberbauer has a number of injury concerns in his Utrecht squad to contend with: Taylor Booth (Unknown), Anthony Descotte (Unknown), Zidane Iqbal (Unknown), Isac Lidberg (Unknown) and Bart Ramselaar (Unknown)
