Heerenveen vs PEC Zwolle Predictions

Heerenveen recorded a 3-0 victory at VVV last weekend but are yet to win at home this season, while Zwolle were thrashed at home 4-0 by title-chasing PSV on Sunday.

All of the stats suggest that a double chance bet on Zwolle is the way to go this weekend and we’ve backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw.

Zwolle have only lost one of their last six matches against Saturday’s hosts and have avoided defeat in their last three trips to Heerenveen. Both teams scored in five of the pairs’ last six encounters and the duo drew their last meeting 1-1 at Heerenveen in February, so you can see why we’re backing another stalemate this weekend.

The form of both teams during the last month or so add weight to our prediction of Zwolle taking at least a point from Saturday’s clash, as Heerenveen have only won one of their last six matches and Zwolle have picked up two wins and a draw from their last five league games. As mentioned above, the hosts have failed to win at home this season and have drawn their last four home games, three of which ended 1-1, and this is why we’ve backed a double chance bet and a correct score of 1-1 this weekend instead of going for an outright Zwolle win.

The performances of both clubs in recent weeks add credibility to our final score prediction, as both teams scored in three of Heerenveen’s last four and three of Zwolle’s last five matches, but the double chance bet covers us if Zwolle extend their good recent record against Heerenveen with a win on Saturday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Zwolle will payout on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Heerenveen haven’t won at home this season but have drawn their last four games in front of their own fans, three of which have ended 1-1, while Zwolle haven’t lost in their last three trips to this stadium and will be confident of taking home at least a point on Saturday.
