Match description
PEC Zwolle is the favorite: they sit 13th in the table versus Heracles in 18th, and at home they have won 47% of matches this season compared to the visitors’ just 7% away win rate. The hosts’ attack has scored 41 goals this season and 6 in the last 5 matches (1.2 per match), while Heracles have 34 goals this season and only 2 in the last 5 (0.4 per match), with conversion rates of 13% for Zwolle and 10% for Heracles. Defensively the visitors fare much worse: Heracles concede 3.00 goals on average away with an average xG against of 2.03, whereas Zwolle concede 1.27 at home with xG against 1.70, indicating Heracles allow more dangerous opportunities. Additionally Heracles have zero clean sheets away (0%) and fail to score in 47% of away matches, while Zwolle have 27% clean sheets and fail to score in 27% of home games, which increases the hosts’ chances of gaining points. Considering form (points per game in the last 5: Zwolle 1.0 vs Heracles 0.2), the edge in average on-target shots at home (3.6 vs 2.73) and higher home xG for Zwolle (1.17 vs 0.96 for the visitors away), I predict a home victory.
