FC Zwolle
- FC Zwolle have drawn their last four games, but are unbeaten in two home games in Eredivisie 2025-2026 (D2).
- The home team sit 13th in the Eredivisie table with 30 points from 27 games, seven points above NAC Breda in 17th after collecting 23 points from 27.
- Henry van der Vegt’s team play in a 4-3-3 system, usually in a medium-to-high tempo, where the ball is moved quickly and they look to overload the midfield area.
- The last three games have seen FC Zwolle draw with Ajax (0-0), Sparta Rotterdam (1-1) and FC Groningen (1-1), indicating the side have become a tough team to beat, but are lacking in cutting edge.
- Koen Kostons is the main attacking outlet for FC Zwolle, he has 11 goals in 27 Eredivisie appearances this season, and will likely be the focus of the play on Saturday.
NAC Breda
- NAC Breda have failed to win two of their last three away games in Eredivisie 2025-2026 (W1, L2).
- The visitors play a slower game with a more disciplined shape, opting to press less and rather look to get numerical superiority in wide areas and counter when they win possession.
- Sydney van Hooijdonk is the spearhead of their attack with 5 goals in 18 Eredivisie appearances.
- NAC Breda’s away record is much worse than their home record in Eredivisie 2025/2026, winning once, drawing four and losing eight of 13, averaging 0.77 goals per-game away from home.
Head-to-Head
- The home side have won three and lost one of their last five games against NAC Breda.
- There is a real contrast in the way these two teams approach the game: Zwolle will attempt to dictate the rhythm, whereas Breda will try and frustrate the hosts and look to hit them on the counter.
Key Players
- Koen Kostons
- 11 goals in 27 Eredivisie appearances this season.
- Sydney van Hooijdonk
- 5 goals in 18 Eredivisie appearances.
