Match announcement
PEC Zwolle
Current form
Zwolle started the championship with three defeats, and it seemed that the "star-bearers" would fail the opening period and settle firmly at the very bottom of the table. However, the team improved and moved up to the middle of the ranking. In the last five rounds, Zwolle lost only to Ajax (0:2). They managed to beat Fortuna Sittard (3:1) and Sparta Rotterdam (1:0), and managed to draw with Groningen (0:0) and Go Ahead Eagles (2:2). In the tournament table, the club occupies 12th place and is five points ahead of the play-off zone. We can say that the hosts are safe at the moment.

The appearance of Tristan Goyer and Samir Lagsir on the field is questionable.

Willem II
Current form
Willem II managed to win the First Division last season and earned a well-deserved ticket to the Premier League. Here the team feels quite confident, occupying 13th place, which is in the middle of the table. However, not every round is successful for the newcomer. After an unexpected away victory over AZ Alkmaar (2:1), the club tied with Breda (2:2), and then suffered two defeats in a row against Groningen (0:2) and Heerenveen (1:2).

Trends
Bet Number 2 in the final score
This pattern has worked in the hosts' last four matches
2.45Bet Exact score 2:0
Willem II have conceded two goals in each of their last three matches
9.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in the hosts' last three matches
1.82Tip and bets
The hosts are betting on defense. The team has not conceded a single goal in the last two matches, but at the same time, they rarely convert their chances. For example, the hosts have only scored one goal in the last three rounds. The hosts will probably act pragmatically and impose their style of play on the opponent, so don't expect many goals.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on the outcome
We think that home advantage will help the hosts achieve a positive result today. The club from Zwolle has won three of the last four home matches and has every chance to beat Willem II. The team from Tilburg has lost two matches in a row and will go to Zwolle not in the best mood. But the "star-bearers" are on the rise now, so we will bet on them.
Our prediction is a win for Zwolle at 2.00
Bet on corners
In this match we don’t expect an open game and we’ll bet on the fact that our opponents won’t be able to make many passes from the corner flag.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 2.03
