FC Volendam vs PEC Zwolle Prediction & Match Preview

FC Volendam vs PEC Zwolle Match Preview

Volendam welcome PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie with both teams desperate for points, but their recent forms highlight contrasting issues. Volendam are yet to taste victory this season after six games, drawing four and losing twice.

Their attack has produced seven goals, but with 11 conceded, defensive lapses remain a recurring problem. Most recently, they fell 1–2 at home to Excelsior and suffered a heavy 3–0 defeat at GA Eagles. Even their positive moments, like a 2–2 draw with AZ and Telstar, show an inability to close games out.

PEC Zwolle also arrive under pressure, but their record is marginally better with two wins from five. Their attack has been quieter, scoring just four goals, but their defense has held up slightly better with seven conceded.

Zwolle’s form shows a concerning downturn, though: they’ve lost three on the bounce, including 0–2 at home to GA Eagles, 3–1 away at Ajax, and 0–2 against Utrecht. However, their early-season wins—1–0 against Twente and 2–0 at Telstar—show they can grind out results when disciplined at the back.

Head-to-head meetings provide additional context. PEC Zwolle have dominated recent encounters, winning 5–0 away at Volendam in December 2023 and 2–0 at home earlier in 2021.

The most recent clash in March 2024 ended in a 1–1 draw, but overall Zwolle have shown more control in this fixture. Given Volendam’s ongoing winless run and Zwolle’s past success, the visitors enter as slight favorites despite their current losing streak.

FC Volendam vs PEC Zwolle Prediction

This looks set to be a cagey affair between two sides short on confidence. Volendam’s inability to win games and their fragile defense suggest Zwolle will have opportunities. Meanwhile, Zwolle’s own scoring troubles hint at a low-scoring contest.

The betting angles line up neatly: PEC Zwolle to win (2.40 odds) is reasonable, especially given their recent head-to-head superiority and Volendam’s winless streak. At the same time, with neither side scoring freely, Under 2.5 Goals (2.30 odds) carries weight, supported by Zwolle’s early-season shutouts and Volendam’s lack of cutting edge in key moments.

Expect Zwolle to edge it narrowly, likely in a low-scoring battle that mirrors their previous away wins this season.
