At first glance, this looks like a mismatch. PSV are cruising at the top, 40 points clear of Zwolle, and the title is basically wrapped up. Still, games like this can get a bit tricky. Zwolle are not safe yet, and that usually brings urgency. You might expect Bosz’s side to control things at home, but the visitors have shown enough fight recently to at least make it uncomfortable.

Since 2019, PSV have dominated this fixture with 11 wins from 12 meetings. The Farmers have also kept six clean sheets in that run. Zwolle’s single win stands out as an exception. Goals tend to flow here, with an average of 4.0 per game.
PSV Eindhoven team overview
PSV did wobble slightly around late February into March. That KNVB Cup loss to NEC, followed by a couple of league defeats, hinted at fatigue or maybe just a dip in focus.
However, Bosz’s side seem to have corrected things quickly. Wins over Utrecht and Sparta Rotterdam suggest they are back on track, even if the defending still looks a bit open at times.
At the Philips Stadium, confidence remains high. Five wins from the last six there tells you enough. Anass Salah-Eddine is still suspended, which is not ideal, but not devastating either. Ivan Perišić has quietly been one of the key figures this season, contributing goals and assists from wide areas.
Injuries are piling up though. Pléa, van Bommel, Olij, Til, Schouten, and Mauro Júnior are all unavailable. That is a long list, and you wonder if it slightly disrupts rhythm.

PEC Zwolle team overview
Zwolle sit nine points above the relegation zone, which sounds comfortable until you look at the fixtures left. One bad run and things tighten quickly.
The Blauwvingers have actually been decent lately, losing just once in seven matches. That kind of form usually builds belief.
Away from home, though, it is a different story for Henry van der Vegt’s side. A heavy 5-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles still lingers, and nine away games without a win is hard to ignore. That said, Zwolle do carry some attacking threat.
Koen Kostons has been central, with 11 goals and six assists, often stepping up when chances are limited. Support from de Regt and Velanas has been modest rather than consistent.
Injuries to Schendelaar, Lagsir, Monteiro, Shoretire, and Faberski stretch the squad, especially against a side like PSV where depth tends to matter more than usual.

Prediction
PSV should still have too much here, especially in Eindhoven. The Farmers have won five of their last six at home and tend to score freely in this fixture. Zwolle’s away run is worrying, nine without a win, and that usually catches up with you. Still, the visitors can nick one. A 3-1 home win feels about right.
Three reasons we expect over 3.5 goals
- Seven of the last eight games of PSV Eindhoven produced over 3.5 goals.
- PEC Zwolle conceded seven goals in their last two games alone.
- Seven of the last eight meetings between PSV and Swolle produced over 3.5 goals.
