After an incontrovertible 3-0 loss against Go Ahead Eagles in front of their own fans on Sunday, PEC Zwolle were confronted with yet another unfavorable outcome this time around on the road against Heracles Almelo, losing 2-1.

Their loss to Dan Hillhouse's men has seen them suffer back-to-back defeats in the league, although this comes after a commendable run that had them on a three-match unbeaten run, picking up two wins and a draw.

With four matches played at the MAC³PARK Stadion, the Bluefingers have picked up four points from two losses, a draw, and a win. Those results have yet to exceed expectations of their loyal fanbase, and while Mike will want to see a more improved showing from them, such plans will have to be put on hold given their opponents in this encounter.

They currently occupy 11th place with 7 points in the standings level with 10th-placed NEC Nijmegen and will be glad to know that they have maintained a four-point advantage over the relegation zone.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Feyenoord made the trip to Civitas Metropolitan Stadium to lock horns with Atletico Madrid on the second match day of the Champions League group stage campaign, and their forwards had an off day being unusually wasteful with their chances at goal, which led to a 3-2 defeat.

However, their performance in the league has been exceptional, and their most recent match against the Go Ahead Eagles at home saw them secure a convincing 3-1 triumph.

Since holding Sparta Rotterdam to a 2-2 draw away from home on August 20th, they have gone to record five consecutive wins while unleashing a goal-scoring spectacle of 24 strikes and counting. Away from home, they are unbeaten in three matches, picking up two wins and a draw.

They currently occupy fourth place with 17 points in the standings, ten points ahead of their opponents in this clash and four points behind a first-place finish.

Formation: 4-3-3

• PEC Zwolle have won one of their four home matches in the Eredivisie.
• Feyenoord have lost one of their nine matches in all competitions.
• PEC Zwolle averages 0.75 goals per game when playing at home, and Feyenoord averages 3.67 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 28 meetings, PEC Zwolle have won 5 times, Feyenoord have won 21 times, and there have been 2 draws, with the goal difference being 66-28 in favor of Feyenoord.

PEC Zwolle will be left out in the cold yet again in their bid to get back to winning ways as they take on an opposing side they are currently on a three-match losing streak at home against, and nothing much can be expected from them here.

Feyenoord are exceptional this season despite their impressive run being marred by two draws in seven matches, and given that they have won eight consecutive matches in this fixture, there's no doubt that the three points are theirs for the taking as they seek to close in on the four-point gap between them and league leaders PSV Eindhoven.

The visitors have conceded exactly one goal in four of their five matches won in the league, and their opponents in this clash could as well find themselves on the scoreboard, though that won't be enough to stop Arne Slot's men from picking up maximum points.
