PEC Zwolle welcome Feyenoord to the MAC³PARK Stadion in Zwolle on September 13, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 14:45 local time. This Eredivisie fixture brings together two teams that have experienced contrasting starts to the season. PEC Zwolle sit 13th after collecting one win, one draw and three defeats, while third-placed Feyenoord remain unbeaten in league action with three victories and two draws. The visitors have produced the stronger attacking numbers, although their recent defensive record suggests that the hosts may still find opportunities. PEC Zwolle must improve at the back to compete with a Feyenoord side averaging 2.6 goals per Eredivisie match.

PEC Zwolle Recent Form and Key Statistics

PEC Zwolle have endured an inconsistent opening to their Eredivisie campaign. Their first five league matches have delivered four points through one victory and one draw, alongside three defeats. They are scoring an average of 1.2 goals per game but conceding 2.0, highlighting the defensive problems that have contributed to their position in the standings.

The home side enter this contest after a 2-2 draw against Sparta Rotterdam on September 4. That result at least ended in a point, but PEC Zwolle's wider five-match record remains one win, one draw and three losses. Earlier 1-3 defeats against both NEC Nijmegen and FC Twente, together with a 0-2 loss to Ajax, underline how difficult it has been for them to contain opponents.

PEC Zwolle will need to remain competitive throughout the match rather than relying only on a strong opening period. At least one second-half goal has been recorded in 21 of their last 23 Eredivisie matches, and the same trend applies across their last 23 games overall. That pattern indicates that the contest is likely to remain active after the interval, especially if the hosts are forced to chase the score.

• Eredivisie record: one win, one draw and three defeats.
• Average goals scored: 1.2 per match.
• Average goals conceded: 2.0 per match.
• Latest result: a 2-2 draw with Sparta Rotterdam.

Feyenoord Recent Form and Key Statistics

Feyenoord travel to Zwolle holding third place in the Eredivisie and possessing an unbeaten domestic record. Three wins and two draws from five league fixtures represent a solid start, with their attacking output standing out in particular. They have averaged 2.6 goals scored per league match while conceding 1.4.

The visitors have already demonstrated their ability to take control of matches through their forward play. A 3-1 victory against NEC Nijmegen and a 5-2 success over SC Cambuur showcased their scoring power. However, consecutive 2-2 results against ADO Den Haag and Go Ahead Eagles also exposed room for improvement defensively. Those draws suggest Feyenoord can be dangerous going forward without always maintaining complete control at the other end.

Feyenoord's latest match ended in a 5-1 defeat against FC Barcelona on September 9. As this trip follows only a few days later, the visitors have had a short turnaround before returning to Eredivisie duty. Their overall record across the last five matches is two victories, two draws and one defeat, with averages of 2.6 goals scored and 2.4 conceded.

Another notable trend is that both teams scored during the second half in each of Feyenoord's last four matches. Combined with PEC Zwolle's repeated second-half goal pattern, this places particular emphasis on the latter stages of the fixture. Even if the opening period is balanced, the available statistics indicate that spaces and scoring opportunities could increase after half-time.

• Eredivisie record: three wins, two draws and no defeats.
• League scoring average: 2.6 goals per match.
• League concession average: 1.4 goals per match.
• Last five matches: two wins, two draws and one defeat.

PEC Zwolle vs Feyenoord Match Analysis

The statistical comparison gives Feyenoord a clear advantage. They have scored more than twice as many goals per league match as PEC Zwolle on average, while the hosts are conceding 2.0 per game. PEC's defensive results against NEC Nijmegen, FC Twente and Ajax further illustrate the scale of the challenge posed by an opponent that has already produced five goals in one Eredivisie away fixture.

Recent head-to-head results reinforce that assessment. Feyenoord won the latest meeting 2-0 on May 17, 2026, while the five-match head-to-head summary shows no PEC Zwolle wins or draws and five Feyenoord victories. Across that sequence, PEC Zwolle averaged only 0.4 goals scored and conceded 4.4. Although each match brings a new situation, this record demonstrates the visitors' repeated superiority in the fixture.

The published match probabilities assign Feyenoord a 68% chance of victory, compared with 18% for a draw and 14% for a PEC Zwolle win. The goals data also points toward an open encounter: over 2.5 goals carries a 62% probability, while both teams to score is rated at 53%. Those figures fit the teams' current averages, with Feyenoord combining strong production in attack with a record that has not always been secure defensively.

PEC Zwolle's best route into the contest may be to stay close on the scoreboard and take advantage of the visitors' short recovery period. Their own average of 1.2 goals shows that they have offered some attacking threat, and Feyenoord have conceded in several recent matches. Nevertheless, the hosts' average of two goals allowed per game leaves little margin for error against the league's third-placed side.

Feyenoord should approach the fixture with confidence based on their unbeaten league start, superior scoring numbers and dominant recent head-to-head record. The defeat to FC Barcelona represents a difficult immediate result, but their domestic form remains intact. If the visitors reproduce the attacking level seen against NEC Nijmegen and SC Cambuur, PEC Zwolle may struggle to prevent them from creating enough chances to decide the match.
