Zwolle vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

PEC Zwolle are at 5/1 to win, a draw is at 16/5, and a PSV win is at 4/7.

Even being the home side isn't enough for PEC to be considered the favorites here. This is a despite a great run of form of late. They have gone nine matches without a defeat in all competition, with seven of those taking place in the league. PSV's run of unbeaten matches is at ten meanwhile, showing both teams are playing excellently at the moment.

PEC have just one loss this season, and it did come away from home. But it was a particularly big loss to Ajax. This is worrying as it's been the toughest challenge they have faced. They have yet to play one of the big three at home (PSV, Ajax, or Feyenoord), so this match is going to be something different for them. Many will be doubting their credentials to win as a result of it.

PSV have been outstanding of late, but you have to just wonder how well they would be doing if they were in European football at the moment.  Still yet, they are eight points above Ajax, who also failed to make it into any of those competitions' group stages. The one loss PSV have had in the Eredivisie was away from home to Heerenveen, so this is no easy task.

Both teams to score is at 4/7 via Ladbrokes.

Correct Score Prediction: PEC Zwolle 1-3 PSV Eindhoven

Team News

John van't Schip has injuries to left back Dico Koppers and left winger Youness Mokhtar that will hold them out of this match.

Key Man

The loss of Mokhtar is a pretty big one as he has the most goals (five) on the team. .
But they still have other options, including Polish striker Piotr Parzyszek. The 24 year old #9 has assisted his teammates three times already this season, contributing to their style of play and allowing others to get goals by creating space and chances. They will need to take their chances well to have a chance here, and he could be just the man to do that.

Team Form

PEC have two draws and three wins in their last five matches:

0-0 draw at Vitesse
2-0 home win vs ADO
3-2 home extra time wins vs Kozakken Boys (Dutch Cup)
0-2 win at NAC Breda

Team News

Phillip Cocu will be without goalkeeper Luuk Koopmans, right back Santiago Arias, winger Steven Bergwijn, attacking midfielders Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist, and forward Jurgen Locadia due to injuries for this away match.

Key Man

Last time out, there was a bit of a shock as PSV defeated Twente in a high-scoring match yet failed to see winger Hirving Lozano register either a goal or an assist. The Mexican has been one of the signings of the season for any team in any league so far by scoring nine goals and creating three further assists, and it was a surprise to see him not get on the sheet in their win. He was tremendous during the international break, and we look to see him continue his form.

Team Form

PSV have won each of their last five matches:

4-3 home win vs Twente
2-4 win at Vitesse
0-2 extra time win vs Volendam (Dutch Cup)
3-0 home win vs Heracles
2-5 win at VVV

PSV Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

PEC Zwolle have done a great job to begin the season, and thanks to Feyenoord slipping up so many times, they currently find themselves in third and tied on points with Ajax in fact. Not many consider them to be title contenders, though, and a win here would have to make you think. PSV are already eight points clear of PEC, and though they are away from home, you've got to like their chances to continue their run.

Zwolle have climbed to third on the back of winning each of their five home matches.
