At MAC³PARK Stadion on 8 November 2025, PEC Zwolle host Sparta Rotterdam in an Eredivisie clash between two sides moving in opposite directions - the hosts desperate to halt a worrying run, while the visitors continue to build rhythm and confidence.
Zwolle’s Struggles Deepen
PEC Zwolle enter this fixture under mounting pressure, sitting below the relegation line and without a league victory in eight consecutive matches. Their performances have lacked consistency at both ends of the pitch, with defensive lapses and missed opportunities up front combining to leave them short of points. Returning home may offer some comfort, yet their inability to convert promising moments into results has become a recurring issue.
Sparta Finding Their Stride
In contrast, Sparta Rotterdam arrive in fine spirits. The visitors have registered five wins from their last eleven outings and look increasingly composed and balanced under their current setup. They’ve won three of their last five league matches, showing maturity and control even in defeats. With defensive discipline paired with a confident attacking structure, Sparta’s away form has been notably strong - a factor that fuels optimism ahead of their trip to Zwolle.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Despite their contrasting fortunes, both teams possess enough offensive potential to get on the scoresheet. Zwolle’s need to respond in front of their supporters could lead to a more open approach, while Sparta’s confidence and efficiency in attack make them likely to find the net again. The selection is Both Teams to Score – Yes.
