Prediction: PEC Zwolle to win by 2-1

PEC Zwolle and Groningen meet with both sides trying to arrest uneven recent form, though it is the visitors who arrive from the stronger league position. Groningen are 10th on 34 points from 26 matches, while Zwolle sit 13th on 29, still looking over their shoulder rather than up the table.

Zwolle’s recent run has been built more on resilience than momentum. They are winless in their last five league matches, drawing three and losing two, and their latest outing ended in a 1-1 draw away at Sparta Rotterdam. The broader issue remains defensive vulnerability, with 51 goals conceded across 26 matches, though their home numbers are far more respectable. At MAC³PARK stadion they have scored 15 and conceded 15, averaging 1.25 at both ends, which makes them significantly more stable here than on the road.

Groningen, by contrast, snapped a poor sequence in emphatic fashion by beating Ajax 3-1 at home last time out. That result lifted them to 34 points and offered a timely confidence boost after a run of four defeats in their previous five league matches. Even so, their away form remains a concern. They have lost their last three away league games and have taken just 16 goals on the road while conceding 22.

The recent head-to-head trend points toward a close game. The last five meetings have produced four draws and one Zwolle win, with the most recent clash ending 2-2 in November 2025. More broadly, Zwolle are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Groningen, drawing five and winning two. The nine most recent head-to-heads also suggest a low-to-moderate scoring pattern, with four ending with one goal or fewer and four more featuring two or three goals.

Koen Kostons remains Zwolle’s standout attacking figure, with 10 league goals and six assists, while Groningen’s main creative force is Younes Taha, who has produced seven assists and continues to be their most reliable chance-maker.
