Head-to-head statistics Zwolle - Nijmegen
PEC Zwolle Team Overview
Zwolle have had a difficult start to the season, picking up just three points from their opening three matches and sitting near the bottom of the table. In their last five games they have won once and lost four, and over the last ten they have managed three wins against six defeats. During that ten-match stretch they are averaging just 1.1 goals scored per game while conceding 2.4, a gap between attack and defence that makes things complicated even against opponents who have yet to find their own consistency.
Match Results: PEC Zwolle
NEC Nijmegen Team Overview
NEC Nijmegen have played only two league matches so far this season, picking up three points, as their previous round fixture was postponed to give them extra preparation time for the Champions League qualifying second leg. The break didn't help, though: NEC were beaten heavily by Bodø/Glimt again and went out 1-6 on aggregate. Over their last ten matches, they have averaged 1.3 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game, and two wins from five alongside three defeats reflects their inconsistency. After a painful European exit, they now have to refocus quickly on the league.

⭐ Editor's Pick
NEC Nijmegen are the clear favourites here, which makes sense given their higher quality and considerably more consistent last season. However, their attack has rarely been convincing in away matches against Zwolle: in 7 of their last 8 away games against this opponent, they scored no more than two goals. Our pick is NEC Nijmegen Team Total - Under 2.5. Expected score: 1-2.
