PEC Zwolle Set to Avoid Defeat at Willem II
Willem II sit 18th after 11 games and have lost four of their last five league matches while conceding 3.5 goals per game on average this season. PEC Zwolle sit three places higher and have the better defensive record, letting in just 1.8 goals per game on the road. In their last ten meetings PEC have won four times with three draws, enough to suggest they rarely lose to this opponent. Willem II have kept no clean sheets in 11 league games and concede 3.2 goals per game at home, a pattern that leaves them open. PEC have also scored in six of their last ten away fixtures. The game may turn on whether PEC can stay compact at the back while Willem push forward without much protection behind them.
