- Venue: MAC³PARK stadion
Two sides in the bottom half of the Eredivisie do battle on Friday as Zwolle welcome Heerenveen to the MAC³PARK Stadion. They are split by just four points, with Zwolle in 9th and Heerenveen teetering above the drop zone. The bookmakers only just have the evens in favour of the away side, but Zwolle have proven to be a bit of an awkward customer in this fixture. Our preview delves into team form, key absences and betting angles to provide a more comprehensive understanding of what to expect when these two teams face off.

Club Friendlies 3
There have been 8 Eredivisie meetings between these two clubs since 2021. Zwolle won three times, including a 4-1 win at his ground in 2021, Heerenveen twice and points were shared three times. Meetings between the two have generally been tight and modestly high-scoring, with an average of 2.4 goals per game.
PEC Zwolle team overview
Zwolle finished 10th last season, very largely thanks to a decent defense that let in only 51 goals in 34 matches. Less generous this season, having already conceded 29 goals, but recent evidence points to some bite.
De Blauwvingers have been defeated just once in six matches in the league, winning twice and drawing four times. That group scored, on average, two goals a game during that run - enough to suggest there’s attack in this team.
But there are also injury worries: Odysseus Velanas and Zico Buurmeester both have ankle problems, and Damian van der Haar, Tristan Gooije and Jasper Schendelaar are also sidelined so Henry van der Vegt must name a reshuffled side.
Anselmo García MacNulty is suspended after being dismissed for two bookings against Groningen last weekend.

SC Heerenveen team overview
Heerenveen was just one place higher than Zwolle last season, but it had an inconsistent campaign featuring 15 losses. They’ve been better defensively this season - just four losses from 13 matches - but It Hearrenfean still have not held a clean sheet in the Eredivisie.
There are signs of life in attack, having beaten AZ Alkmaar 3-1 at home most recently. Coach Robin Veldman will be eager to build on that success and claim back-to-back victories, although previous encounters against Zwolle suggest it won't come easy.
It Hearrenfean have shared the points in last two matches and are victorious just once in their last four. Injuries to Levi Smans and Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen also cause problems in midfield and attack, which could stifle his options on Friday.

Prediction
It’s looking like it could be a close encounter between Zwolle and Heerenveen, probably ending in at most a couple of goal margin. Zwolle have not been on the losing side in each of their last two home games and only suffered one defeat in their last six league outings, whereas Heerenveen tasted defeat just once in eight league matches. I see both teams netting in what should be a conservative, well-matched encounter.
Three reasons we expect both teams to score in this game
- Heerenveen have kept just one clean sheet in their last 20 matches.
- Zwolle kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 matches.
- Both teams scored in each of the last three meetings between Zwolle and Heerenveen.
