Utrecht vs Zwolle Prediction & Tips | Eredivisie | FootballTips.app

FC Utrecht and PEC Zwolle meet at Stadion Galgenwaard after both produced impressive comeback victories last weekend. Anthony Correia’s side sit 11th with 11 points from nine matches, while Zwolle sit 15th with seven points after recording only their second league win of the campaign.

Utrecht recovered from a goal down to beat FC Twente 2-1 away, with Ángel Alarcón scoring twice shortly after half-time. They had only 37% possession and faced 17 shots, but a determined defensive display, including 51 clearances, helped them protect their advantage and secure a third win in four league matches.

That upturn has been accompanied by a significant improvement in attack, with Utrecht scoring ten times across their last five games. However, their defensive record remains problematic, as 26 goals conceded in nine matches and a 13-game run without a clean sheet continue to leave them vulnerable.

Zwolle produced an even more emphatic response after falling behind against Go Ahead Eagles, scoring four second-half goals to win 4-1. Sydney van Hooijdonk equalised immediately after the restart before Thijs Oosting struck twice and Koen Kostons completed the scoring late on.

That result ended a three-match losing run and gave Mirjam Clifford a much-needed first league win since taking charge. Zwolle remain defensively fragile, having conceded 22 times and gone six matches without a clean sheet, although they have collected four of their seven points this season away from home.

Utrecht have also enjoyed the better of this fixture recently, going unbeaten in their last five meetings with Zwolle, winning three and drawing two. With neither defence offering much security, another open contest appears likely, but the hosts’ stronger recent form gives them a slight advantage.
