PEC Zwolle vs Feyenoord — Tips & Analysis

PEC Zwolle +1.5: Feyenoord turn up with a patched up defence, and that is the one thing keeping Zwolle in this. Six Feyenoord players are out, most of them defenders, including Beelen with a broken leg. They also play just four days after losing 1-5 at Barcelona. Zwolle have had nine days to get ready. Zwolle give you very little going forward. They score less than a goal a game at their own ground and they sit 13th. What they do is make games awkward, with three ties from eight home games. Feyenoord are the better side and they travel well, with five wins from nine away games at 2 goals a game. They have lost only 1 of their last 15. Our read is a 1-2 Feyenoord win, so a one goal defeat is all Zwolle need from this. The reason we cannot promise more is the history. Zwolle have won 1 of the last 20 meetings, and the last five finished 0-2, 1-6, 0-4, 1-5 and 0-5. Zwolle have also lost by 2 or more in 6 of their last 16 games, so a heavy night is always possible. A tired, rebuilt Feyenoord back line should keep this to one goal, and that is where we stand.
