PEC Zwolle vs. Feyenoord Preview

Can PEC Zwolle beat Feyenoord for the first time in a very long time? Or will it be another easy win for the team from Rotterdam-Zuid? Here’s a brief look at both teams.

Current Form & Team News

PEC Zwolle

It’s not much of a surprise that PEC Zwolle is in 14th place after five matches. Especially when you consider the teams they’ve faced so far. They’ve already played Ajax, FC Twente, NEC Nijmegen, Sparta, and SC Heerenveen. They’ve only managed to beat the last-mentioned club. Still, they put up a decent fight against Ajax and NEC, and there was certainly more potential there. Can they give Feyenoord a hard time and maybe even pull off a minor upset? It’s up to Henny van der Vegt to get his team fired up and strike fear into the hearts of the Rotterdam side.

Feyenoord

Did Sem Steijn wake up feeling good last Thursday? Not many players get the chance to score a goal at FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou. Still, a 1-5 loss isn’t exactly something to be happy about, even when you’re playing against players like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

In the Eredivisie, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season. Interestingly, most of their points have come on the road. In particular, the away matches against SC Cambuur and NEC Nijmegen went very smoothly, with players like Luciano Valente and Gjivai Zechiël making a big impression. Can they do the same when they visit PEC Zwolle?

Head-to-Head

At first glance, an away game against PEC Zwolle is a tough one for many teams. This is generally not the case for Feyenoord. In fact, it has been well over seven years since PEC Zwolle last avoided a loss to the Rotterdam team. In the fourteen matches that followed, Feyenoord came out on top every single time. Will that also be the case for the match on Sunday, September 13, 2026?

Expected lineups

PEC Zwolle (4-2-3-1):

Schendelaar, Floranus, Viergever, Graves, Aertssen, Sommer, Thomas, Cissoko, Oosting, Mbayo, Kostons

Feyenoord (4-3-3):

Ernst, Marmol, St. Juste, Watanabe, Read, Vanhoutte, Zechiel, Targhalline, Valente, Ferri, Diarra

PEC Zwolle vs. Feyenoord Betting Tips

Betting Tip 1: 3-way handicap -1 for Feyenoord

We expect nothing less than a convincing victory for Feyenoord. Despite the grueling midweek match in Spain, Feyenoord has managed to win both home and away games against the team from Overijssel in each of the last seven Eredivisie seasons. We believe Feyenoord will win by a margin of at least two goals. This has been the case in their last eight head-to-head matches. A 3-way handicap of -1 for Feyenoord gives you odds of 2.00.

Betting Tip 2: Gjivai Zechiël scores or records an assist

Ever since Gjivai Zechiël secured a regular spot in Feyenoord’s midfield, he has become an indispensable part of the starting lineup. After five league matches, he has four goals and three assists to his name, making him perhaps the most valuable player in the Eredivisie. We think he’ll be a key player against PEC Zwolle again and will either score or provide an assist. This will earn you odds of 2.25.

Prediction: PEC Zwolle vs. Feyenoord

Final Score: PEC Zwolle - Feyenoord 2-4
We expect nothing less than a Rotterdam victory. However, we’re betting on a high-scoring win, especially since both teams tend to give up goals. In short: a 4-2 victory for Feyenoord would make sense!
