PEC Zwolle - FC Volendam predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. FC Volendam stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.62, marking an insurmountable difference.

PEC Zwolle’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing SC Heerenveen as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for PEC Zwolle.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.65, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

PEC Zwolle’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 10 goals throughout their latest three Eredivisie matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over FC Volendam. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

There’s an interesting development over at MAC³PARK Stadion. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Jasper Schendelaar, Samir Lagsir, Ferdy Druijf, Younes Namli, Nick Fichtinger, Kaj de Rooij will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, Calvin Twigt, Joey Antonioli, Xavier Mbuyamba, Luke Le Roux, George Cox will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
