Team News

PEC Zwolle
SC Heerenveen
  • PEC Zwolle will be missing several key players this weekend.
  • Filip Krastev is suspended after receiving a yellow card in last weekend's loss to AZ, which may lead head coach Johnny Jansen to include Odysseus Velanas in the lineup as a replacement.
  • Additionally, five players are sidelined due to injuries: Thierry Lutonda, Dylan Mbayo, Sherel Floranus, Younes Namli, and Tristan Gooijer are all currently in the physio room.
  • Mbayo's absence should mean a start for Kaj de Rooij.
  • Robin van Persie will be without Jacob Trenskow, Ion Nicolăescu, Luuk Brouwers, and Pawel Bochniewicz this weekend.
  • Following their entertaining 3-3 draw with Twente in their last match, Eser Gürbüz is pushing for a starting position after scoring a 93rd-minute equalizer after coming off the bench.
  • However, the 17-year-old forward is expected to start on the bench alongside Ché Nunnely, Denzel Hall, and Ilias Sebaoui.

Prediction

  • Heerenveen, without a win in their last four Eredivisie matches, will aim to turn their fortunes around against PEC Zwolle at MAC³PARK Stadion this Sunday.
  • In their most recent Eredivisie match, Heerenveen played to a 3-3 draw against Twente at Abe Lenstra Stadion. This result extended their winless streak to four games and left them in ninth place with 26 points. Throughout 22 matches, the Friezen have scored 26 goals and conceded 41, putting them level on points with eighth-placed Fortuna Sittard and in contention for a spot in the UEFA Conference League play-offs.
  • PEC Zwolle currently sits in 13th place with 24 points, just four points above the relegation zone, and there are 12 matches remaining in the season. Zwolle lost 2-0 in their last match against AZ at AFAS Stadion, ending a three-match unbeaten run.
  • The last encounter between Heerenveen and Zwolle ended in a 1-1 draw at Abe Lenstra Stadion in October. Davy van den Berg scored for Zwolle in the third minute, and Dimitris Rallis netted for Heerenveen in the 10th minute.
  • Heerenveen has had the upper hand in recent meetings, remaining unbeaten in the last three Eredivisie fixtures against Zwolle. Zwolle is seeking their first league victory over Heerenveen since January 2022. During this period, the Friezen have outscored the Blauwvingers with five goals for and three against.
  • Jacob Trenskow, Ion Nicolaescu, and Luuk Brouwers have been Heerenveen's main attacking threats this season, contributing five, five, and three goals, respectively.
  • Dylan Vente has been a standout player for Zwolle, leading the club's scoring charts with nine goals, which ranks tied for fifth among the league's top scorers for the 2024/2025 season. Notably, four of these goals have been the crucial opening goals of the match.
  • Playing at home, Zwolle has secured 16 points from a possible 33 in 11 Eredivisie matches this season. In contrast, Heerenveen has struggled on the road, recording nine losses and only two wins in their league away games.
