ADO Den Haag vs PEC Zwolle Betting Tips

Since a frustrating and disappointing 3-1 defeat to last place De Graafschap on January 27, ADO Den Haag have gone three games unbeaten. It started with a 2-0 away win against Feyenoord, they then drew 2-2 with Roda JC, before picking up a big 4-2 away victory over Excelsior. They enter the weekend’s action in 11th place in the Dutch Eredivisie table, but are still within reach of the Europa League places.

A porous defence has consistently cost PEC Zwolle this season. Their 2015/16 has been bright in patches, they started the 2016 portion of the year with a dominating 5-2 victory over Heerenveen, before going win-less in four straight games, a run that they ended last weekend with another convincing win over Feyenoord. Road form has been an issue for this squad, they’ve lost three of their last four away games.

Head-to-Head

Den Haag has just one win in their last eight matches against PEC Zwolle, that victory came in their last home match-up against Zwolle at the end of last season when they secured victory by a 3-2 scoreline. PEC Zwolle won the earlier match-up between the two teams this season taking a 2-1 decision.

Team News

Depth midfielder Dylan Nieuwenhuijs is missing for a relatively healthy ADO Den Haag, while PC Zwolle are in the opposite position with an extremely long injury list. The most critical absentees are Sheraldo Becker and Mustafa Saymak, both of whom formed critical parts of the team’s attacking creativity and both of whom are long-term concerns.

Reason for Betting Tips

Den Haag are the better home side, while PEC Zwolle are not a reliable team to bet on away from home. Last season’s home win and results over the past two seasons generally will have increased Den Haag’s confidence as a football club. The other factor in this betting tip is the potential for an excellent return on a good stake with the home team favoured, but still at very reasonable 1/1 odds.
