Excelsior, Recent FormExcelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Vitesse.
He will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Excelsior will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement. The early part of the season has provided an unusually high number of draws for Roodzwarten, with 4 draws in 8 league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Excelsior, Nikolas Agrafiotis will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
PEC Zwolle, Recent FormPEC Zwolle will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Feyenoord, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Lennart Thy has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Excelsior.
PEC Zwolle recorded a 0-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Blauwvingers will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 11 encounters with Excelsior. Ahead of this match, Excelsior won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against Blauwvingers. The PEC Zwolle defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Roodzwarten in the league, with PEC Zwolle conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. PEC Zwolle have a good attacking record away to Roodzwarten in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
When playing at home, Excelsior have lost the last 3 times they've faced PEC Zwolle in the league and have failed to win any of their last 5 encounters.
Mike van Duinen has scored in each of Excelsior's last 2 league games against PEC Zwolle.
