Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: PEC Zwolle – Almere City
PEC Zwolle surrendered their lead in the IJsselderby in the eighth minute of stoppage time in the second half last weekend, conceding a penalty to Go Ahead Eagles. However, the 1-1 draw was sufficient to extend their unbeaten streak. They have now gone six games without defeat and are rarely bested by the team visiting them this Saturday evening.
The derby against Go Ahead Eagles marked captain and club icon Bram van Polen’s 500th match in the PEC Zwolle shirt. Despite being the oldest player in this Eredivisie season, he has missed only two matches. However, he will be absent for a 501st appearance this weekend due to suspension. PEC Zwolle‘s leading scorer, Lennart Thy, has been pivotal in recent weeks, notching five goals in his last six games.
Almere City
Almere City, the visitors, have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight encounters with PEC Zwolle. However, they may find hope this weekend as PEC Zwolle is one of the few teams to have earned more points away from home (16) than in their own stadium (11). Nonetheless, Almere City has struggled to find the net in three of their last four matches. They ranks among the least prolific teams in the league with just 21 goals.
On the contrary, they’ve kept clean sheets in three of their five Eredivisie games this calendar year, with goalkeeper Nordin Bakker boasting the second-most clean sheets this season (eight) after Walter Benítez of PSV. Despite the closure of the winter transfer window, they bolstered their squad with the addition of Adi Nalic on a free transfer last weekend. Nalic, an attacking midfielder, has nine international appearances for Bosnia and last played for Hammarby IF in Sweden.
Players to Watch
Players to keep an eye on include Davy van den Berg. He leads the league in distance covered this season with a total of 264km. Almere City is the only club against which he has scored multiple goals in his professional career (two). Peer Koopmeiners has committed 55 fouls this season, which is at least sixteen more than any other player in the Eredivisie.
Key statistic: PEC Zwolle is undefeated in the last 14 head-to-head encounters, winning seven of the last eight.
