Match Preview
Having finished 14th in last season’s Eredivisie, just four places off bottom spot, little was expected from PEC Zwolle this season. However, under the management of former Dutch international, John van 't Schip, the Blauwvingers find themselves in 4th spot after a terrific first half of the season. In today’s PEC Zwolle vs NAC Breda preview, we take a look at the surprise package’s next fixture.

Van ‘t Schip’s men ended the first half of the Dutch league season with a surprise 0-4 loss to ADO, but we shouldn’t allow that result to hold too much sway on our PEC Zwolle vs NAC Breda betting tips. That defeat was only the second loss in seventeen fixtures for the Blauwvingers who have lost just three games in total since the summer. Their only other couple of defeats came against the county’s current top two, PSV and Ajax.
NAC Breda are just about keeping themselves out of the relegation zone, but with just two wins from their most recent twelve competitive games, it’s easy to see why there is just one place separating them and Twente in 15th and 16th position near the foot of the table. The Yellow Army have been sent packing more often than not when playing away from the Rat Verlegh Stadion. Stijn Vreven’s troops have won just one of their nine away games in the Eredivisie this term.
PEC Zwolle vs NAC Breda Prediction and Betting Advice
It’s hard to look beyond a home win in Saturday’s match and with the home team in such fine form overall, we are tipping them to come out on top in our PEC Zwolle vs NAC Breda bets. John Van ‘t Schip has turned the MAC³PARK Stadion into one of the sturdiest strongholds in Dutch football and only PSV have lost fewer games than them at home this season.
One defeat from nine matches on their own patch is a fine record, but when you couple it with NAC’s awful away statistics, a favourite to win the weekend’s contest starts to emerge. Stijn Vreven’s men have only picked up a maximum point once away from home this season in total.
Zwolle have won three of their last four meetings with their mid-table opponents and in the reverse meeting between the sides in October of last year, PEC played their way to a comprehensive 2-0 victory. Van ‘t Schip will have his squad motivated to the maximum and keen to pick up where they left off before Christmas. We chose Bet-at-home to provide Eredivisie football odds this week – the value they offer cannot be beaten anywhere.
One of the home team’s strengths and one of the reasons we backed them to win above in the first of our PEC Zwolle vs NAC Breda predictions is the spread of goals throughout their team. When a squad of players share the goals around, they give opponents far more to think about than a team who has one easily identifiable danger man.
One of the biggest beneficiaries of their style of play under Van ‘t Schip has been twenty-four-year-old Dutch midfielder Mustafa Saymak. The schemer has nabbed seven Eredivisie goals in total this season and was in the midst of a red-hot streak directly before the winter break.
Saymak had fired home five goals in six league appearances before the turn of the year and when our analysed teams faced off back in October, Saymak scored the crucial match-sealing second goal in the 82nd minute. Saymak should be key to his side’s chances of victory again this weekend and we are backing him to get a goal during the ninety minutes to finish our Dutch football bets for today. The goalscorer markets at Unibet offer punters the best value and variety, so we recommend betting with them.
