PEC Zwolle, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the PEC Zwolle players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Fortuna Sittard. They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Fortuna Sittard managed 22 attempts on goal, with 12 on target.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Goalscorer Ferdy Druijf will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for PEC Zwolle.
Ajax, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Ajax and Sparta Rotterdam in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 70%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Sparta Rotterdam had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power John van 't Schip will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 23 of their 26 games this season.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Brian Brobbey will be looking to cause PEC Zwolle some problems having scored 4 goals in Ajax's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for de Godenzonen in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against PEC Zwolle in their last 15 meetings together. Blauwvingers have struggled to break down the Ajax defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Ajax have managed to keep a clean sheet against PEC Zwolle in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. When Ajax visit Blauwvingers in the league, goals tend to happen, with 8 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.67 goals per match.
Ajax have dominated this away fixture in the past, winning the last 7 times in a row that they have played PEC Zwolle at MAC³PARK Stadion in the league.
