PEC Zwolle
PEC Zwolle will be missing up to six players due to injury: Furdjel Narsingh, Guyon Fernandez, Kevin Begois, Ronnie Reniers, Jesper Drost and Mateusz Klich. Rochdi Achenteh is suspended, meaning Bart van Hintum should deputise. Ron Jans, nonetheless, will name the same XI that began their goalless draw away to FC Groningen.
Waalwijk
Mart Lieder and Dennis Rommedahl remain the only players absent through injury, but Ingo van Weert returns from suspension. After their last gasp victory over Feyenoord, the expectation is Erwin Koeman will name the same XI, with one possible change: Damiano Schet replacing Jean-David Beauguel on the left-flank.
Match Facts
PEC Zwolle have drawn their last 3 matches in Eredivisie. PEC Zwolle have been drawing at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in Eredivisie. There have been under 2. 5 goals scored in 6 of PEC Zwolle’s last 7 games in Eredivisie. There have been over 2. 5 goals scored in 5 of Waalwijk’s last 6 away games in Eredivisie. Waalwijk have failed to win their last 7 away matches in Eredivisie. Waalwijk have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 away matches in Eredivisie.
Prediction
Despite their current position of 17th in the table RKC’s form of late has been very good: two wins and a draw from their last four games, aside the 5-2 defeat away to Heerenveen. Their win over Feyenoord – Erwin Koeman getting the better of his brother Ronald – has injected some much needed belief in staying up as they head into the final few weeks of the first half of the season. They will need it when they travel to a PEC Zwolle, who have only lost once from seven games at home, although three of those matches ended in a draw.
PEC Zwolle 1 - 1 Waalwijk
