PEC Zwolle vs Groningen: match statistics
Statistical analysis points to an evenly matched duel between two teams in poor form. PEC Zwolle is in 13th place and has averaged only 0.6 PPG in their last 5 matches without recording a single win. The hosts, however, have a decent home record with a 50% win rate, although their recent home games show a dip in form (WLLLD). Groningen, despite a higher position in the table (10th place), also presents a weak disposition with 4 losses in their last 5 encounters. On the road, they concede an average of 1.69 goals per match and lose 54% of their games, making them vulnerable to dropping points. Groningen's advantage in ball possession (48% vs 42%) and xG (1.67 vs 1.13 in the hosts' away matches) is balanced by PEC Zwolle's better efficiency at home. Considering the poor form of both teams and the hosts' history of draws (17% at home), sharing the points seems to be the most probable outcome.
