Heracles - PEC Zwolle predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.20, the bookies made it clear that Heracles are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for PEC Zwolle who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Heracles’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Ajax as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Heracles.

PEC Zwolle fans were caught by surprise last week as the team snatched an early lead despite largely unfavourable betting odds. Unfortunately, their opponents SC Heerenveen managed to catch up to them before the end, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

PEC Zwolle may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Although the 2.20 betting odds for a home win show that Heracles are the favourites, their track record against PEC Zwolle this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Sava-Arangel Cestic, Jordy Bruijn, Jizz Hornkamp, Lorenzo Milani, Robin Mantel for the hosts, and Damian van der Haar, Tristan Gooijer, Filip Yavorov Krastev, Younes Namli for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.
