H2H: Zwolle vs PSV – Prediction (Eredivisie

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Clint Leemans has scored in back-to-back league matches for Zwolle. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo has seven goals across his last eight competitive matches for PSV, with six of them being struck in the second half. PSV have won 11 straight Eredivisie H2Hs against Zwolle, scoring precisely four goals in six of the last eight such matches.

Zwolle Insights.

PEC Zwolle’s total goals output from their matches in the abandoned 2019/20 season stood at 3.54 and was second to Ajax only. Consequently, 69.23% of their matches featured over 2.5 goals, but this season has been different thus far, with two of their three league matches played to this point featuring under 2.5 goals. History favours a potential return to goals here though. Last season, seven of Zwolle’s 11 matches against the teams that ended up in the top six at the time of abandonment featured at least four goals. Additionally, Zwolle lost all seven matches played against last season’s eventual ‘top four’, and nine of 11 against the ‘top six’ (D2, L9).

PSV Insights.

With three wins and a draw so far, PSV can still emulate last season, when they went unbeaten in the first nine Eredivisie rounds (W7, D2). Looking back on 64 Eredivisie matches without a goalless draw, PSV have seen 14 of their last 15 league wins come in matches also featuring over 2.5 goals, as have five straight wins against hosts Zwolle. Those expecting a demolition job may be vindicated, as 12 of PSV’s 15 Eredivisie wins attained before abandonment came via a margin of at least two goals. So too have four of their five competitive wins registered this season. Three straight H2Hs vs Zwolle – and six of the last eight – have also been won to the effect of covering a -2.5 handicap.
