PEC Zwolle vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction Eredivisie · Oct 18, 2026

Analysis

PEC Zwolle arrive in freefall: one win in their last five, 15 goals conceded in that run, and two home games that produced a 0-7 hammering by Feyenoord and a 1-3 loss to NEC — 10 goals shipped in front of their own crowd. Their only encouraging result was the 2-0 win at Heerenveen in August, and after seven rounds they are stuck in the bottom third of the table with no more than five points. Go Ahead Eagles are far steadier: unbeaten in three (1-1 at NEC, 1-1 at home to Groningen, 3-3 at Utrecht) and ninth on 10 points from a 2-4-1 record with 16 scored and 14 conceded. The Eagles have found the net in each of their last five matches and both teams scored in all five of them, while four of Zwolle's last five games went over 2.5 goals. The weakness is on the other side of the Eagles' game — 14 conceded already and five shipped at AZ — so a one-sided clean sheet is not the likely outcome here. We expect Go Ahead Eagles to edge a loose, open game: 1-2.
