VVV vs PEC Zwolle Predictions

• VVV have won their last two home games.
• Zwolle have been poor on the road, losing the vast majority of their away games.
• Anything but a win for the visitors could see them slip into the automatic relegation places.
• VVV could move up two places with a win but a defeat would see Zwolle leapfrog them.

The hosts home form could see them to victory

VVV have won three of their last six matches against Zwolle, which includes the pairs last two meetings, and under 2.5 goals have been produced in three of the pairs’ last four encounters. VVV have won two of their last five league games, both at home, while Zwolle have lost four of their last five league games, which includes their last two away games so you can see why we are backing a home win on Saturday.

Under 2.5 goals were produced in VVV’s last two outings as well as in Zwolle’s last away game, a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord. VVV have won four of their eight home games this season and are yet to produce a stalemate in front of their own fans, while Zwolle have lost seven of their eight away games, picking up a single win against Emmen in August.

VVV average 1.50 points per home game and Zwolle average 0.38 points per away game, adding further strength to our prediction for a home win this weekend. VVV score an average of 1.25 goals per home game and Zwolle concede an average of 2.13 goals per away game, so a 1-0 win looks the most likely final scoreline for Saturday’s clash.

Zwolle don’t score enough goals on the road

VVV haven’t drawn at home this season and Zwolle are yet to draw on the road and the hosts have scored 10 goals at home this season, while the visitors have only scored 5 goals on the road. Zwolle are yet to keep a single clean sheet away from home and VVV have only failed to score in 38% of their matches this season, and the visitors have lost-to-nil in 62% of their away games while a majority of VVV’s wins this season have been obtained with a one-goal margin (3 wins).

We’re confident that VVV will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts are certainly at their best in front of their own fans while Zwolle have been really poor on the road, without a point on their travels since August. We’re expecting a very tight and tense match, one that neither side will want to lose, but we believe VVV are best placed to secure all three points.
