Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: SC Heerenveen – PEC Zwolle
SC Heerenveen managed to create some breathing room for themselves after their comfortable victory against FC Volendam last week. Despite their recent struggles, they still find themselves positioned in the middle of the Eredivisie standings. The team, under the guidance of head coach Kees van Wonderen, earned some credit with their impressive 3-2 home win against Ajax in February. However, fans at the Abe Lenstra Stadium haven’t forgotten the disappointing 2-0 defeat to Go Ahead Eagles.
It’s a precarious situation for the mid-table team. They currently sit comfortably away from the danger zone, ten points clear of 16th place. However, going into Sunday’s match, they were only four points away from securing a spot in the postseason European playoffs. With three other clubs just one point behind them on 27 points, the competition remains fierce.
PEC Zwolle
Their upcoming opponents, PEC Zwolle, are one of those challengers. With 27 points from 23 matches, they entered the day in 11th place. Under Johnny Jansen’s leadership, they secured two crucial victories since the start of the year: a home win against Vitesse (1-0) and an away victory against Sparta Rotterdam (2-0). However, they also endured three draws and two defeats, including a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture.
PEC Zwolle’s recent performances haven’t been promising. After conceding a late equalizer in the IJsselderby against Go Ahead Eagles, they suffered two home defeats. Almere City secured a 1-0 win in Zwolle, and last weekend, league leaders PSV thrashed them with a 7-1 victory. This trend reflects their season, where they amassed 16 points in 11 away games but only 11 at home.
Hot Stats
Players to keep an eye on include Pelle van Amersfoort (G7, A1), who scored crucial goals against Volendam and Ajax this year, and PEC’s Eliano Reijnders (G3, A1), who scored the consolation goal against PSV last weekend.
Hot stat: Six of Heerenveen’s last seven Eredivisie home games against Zwolle produced under 2.5 total goals.
