PEC Zwolle vs FC Emmen

PEC Zwolle experienced a nice boost during the international match period. De Graafschap, recently still too strong in Zwolle for 0-3, was behind the closed doors of the PEC stadium 4-2 in a friendly match. It must be said, however, that the formation from Doetinchem did not show up with the strongest eleven. PEC Zwolle is in twelfth place and that is not in line with the ambitions of the Overijssel club that likes to participate in the play-offs for European football. That is probably not feasible in this season. Also not under wonder doctor Jaap Stam who will leave the club in the summer because Feyenoord will be his new employer.

FC Emmen is in a shared sixteenth place. The people of Emmen have as many points as De Graafschap. Both want to avoid the after competition and therefore the danger of relegation. Emmen plays with the knowledge that PEC can be beat on a lesser day and it desperately needs the points.

Earlier this season, PEC Zwolle in Emmen won 0-1 through a goal from Dekker. The last time this game was played in Zwolle was in the first division. In that season (2011-2012), PEC won both Emmen meetings.
