Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Go Ahead Eagles Deventer – PEC Zwolle.
Once again this season, five teams are emerging as the frontrunners, but Go Ahead Eagles currently holds the title of ‘best of the rest.’ Positioned in sixth place leading up to this round, the upcoming IJsselderby is the highlight. Initially lauded for impressive home results in the first half of the season, Go Ahead’s recent Eredivisie performances at home have been disappointing, yielding only one point from their last four matches.
Despite securing victories in their last two away matches with 2-0 scorelines, Go Ahead has struggled defensively at home, conceding at least two goals in each of their last four Eredivisie games. However, a favorable outcome in the derby against archrivals PEC Zwolle could overshadow these shortcomings. With only three defeats in their last 11 encounters with PEC Zwolle (five wins and three draws), Go Ahead Eagles should approach the match with confidence.
PEC Zwolle, prior to this round, also held a playoff spot after remaining undefeated in five consecutive matches, including visits to strong clubs like AZ, Ajax, and Sparta Rotterdam. In their last seven Eredivisie away games, they have suffered only one loss to PSV, securing three wins and three draws, indicating they are well-prepared to secure points in Deventer.
Johnny Jansen’s team has been prolific in front of goal, scoring twice in four of their last five matches. Additionally, they boast six players with three or more Eredivisie goals this season. However, goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar has been a standout performer in recent weeks, recording clean sheets in his last two appearances despite facing a total of 12 shots.
Players to watch include Eagles captain Bas Kuipers, who has been directly involved in a goal in three of his last five appearances (scoring one and providing two assists), and Zwolle’s Lennart Thy, who has scored four times in his last four away games.
An interesting statistic to note is that Go Ahead Eagles have scored exactly one goal in each of the last six IJsselderby encounters.
