Feyenoord Vs Zwolle

Feyenoord is set to continue their impressive run in the Eredivisie as they host PEC Zwolle at Stadion Feijenoord on Friday night. A victory for the home side would bolster their aspirations for Champions League qualification, while a win for the visitors could bring them within a point of safety this season.

Under the guidance of head coach Robin van Persie, Feyenoord has shown remarkable form. After a narrow 1-0 win against AZ Alkmaar, despite not registering a single shot on goal, they delivered a more convincing performance against Fortuna Sittard, securing a win thanks to a brace from Jakub Moder. This marked their fifth consecutive league victory, their longest such streak since the end of the previous season.

Van Persie's impact has been significant, with five wins in six matches since taking charge. A win in this fixture would make him the first Feyenoord manager since Bert van Marwijk in 2007 to win six of his first seven league games. The team's confidence is further boosted by their dominant history against PEC Zwolle, having won the last nine encounters, including a 5-1 victory in the reverse fixture in August.

Feyenoord's home form has been strong, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches at Stadion Feijenoord, with four wins and a draw. Their only home defeats this season came against strong opponents, Utrecht and Ajax.

On the other hand, PEC Zwolle has struggled to maintain leads in recent matches. They drew 1-1 with Twente after leading, and previously let slip advantages against Almere City and Sparta. Although they are seven points clear of the relegation playoff spot, these dropped points have prevented them from climbing into the top half of the table.

Historically, PEC Zwolle has found it challenging against Feyenoord, with only one win in their last 14 away games this season. Given these statistics, the odds are stacked against them as they face a formidable Feyenoord side eager to continue their winning streak.
