LWDLWL

FC Zwolle won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 4-0 Eredivisie loss in their previous game against PSV Eindhoven.

Hirving Lozano (5'), Guus Til (28'), Luuk de Jong (57') and Malik Tillman (78') scored for PSV Eindhoven.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where FC Zwolle have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that FC Zwolle have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals along the way.

Coming into this clash, FC Zwolle are unbeaten in the league by RKC Waalwijk in their last 10 matches. A decent run, indeed.

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie action, RKC Waalwijk will be hoping to turn things around here.

Willum Þór Willumsson (30') was the scorer for Go Ahead Eagles.

The stats don’t lie, and RKC Waalwijk have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in all. Defensively, RKC Waalwijk have been far from perfect. Historical results aside, time will tell whether that trend will be maintained here in this game.

• haven't been beaten by FC Zwolle in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.
