Zwolle (home)
- Zwolle, meanwhile, have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their Eredivisie 2026/2027 fixtures and head into this game on the back of a run of 3 consecutive defeats.
- Henry van der Vegt has his side set up as a 4-2-3-1 possession-based team, but they just lack the quality to make it work in the top tier and are often getting picked off on the counter attack.
- Zwolle have scored just 1 goal in 4 home games, an average of 0.25.
Go Ahead Eagles (away)
- Blauwvingers are 16th after 8 games with a return of just 4 points, while Go Ahead Eagles have 11 points from 8 after a solid start to the campaign.
- Go Ahead Eagles have a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in their last 5 games (W1, D3, L1) but they are a resilient bunch and will be tough to crack this weekend.
- Joseph Oosting has set up his side to be compact and to play on the break, with plenty of runners in wide areas and quick vertical transitions to catch opponents off guard.
- Go Ahead Eagles still haven't won away in Eredivisie 2026/2027, with 3 draws and a loss in 4 matches, but they average 2.00 goals away from home.
