FC Groningen and PEC Zwolle search for stability at Euroborg
FC Groningen and PEC Zwolle arrive at the Euroborg for this Eredivisie clash looking to find a consistent rhythm after challenging starts to their respective campaigns. Both sides have navigated turbulent periods in recent weeks, and this matchday 7 encounter provides a significant opportunity to reset their trajectories.
FC Groningen have experienced a mixed bag of results in their opening league fixtures. After a promising start that included a victory over FC Utrecht, they have navigated a difficult stretch that featured a heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven and a narrow loss to Fortuna Sittard.
Recent outings have seen them display resilience, however, with back-to-back draws against FC Twente and Go Ahead Eagles. These performances suggest a side that is finding its footing, though they will be eager to turn those shared points into a full victory on home soil.
It has been a testing period for PEC Zwolle, who are coming off a challenging result against Feyenoord. That setback followed a sequence of results that highlighted defensive vulnerabilities, including a 2-2 draw with Sparta Rotterdam and a defeat to NEC Nijmegen.
Despite these struggles, the visitors did secure a notable win against SC Heerenveen earlier in the campaign. They will be looking to recapture that level of defensive discipline and attacking intent as they aim to move up the table on Friday night.
For the hosts, Etienne Vaessen is expected to start in goal, protected by a defensive line including Wouter Prins, Mark Csinger, and Thijmen Blokzijl. The midfield is expected to feature a blend of energy and creativity from the likes of Jorg Schreuders, Tika de Jonge, and Tygo Land, while Thom van Bergen remains the focal point of their attacking efforts.
PEC Zwolle are expected to line up with Jasper Schendelaar between the posts. Their defensive unit is likely to be anchored by Nick Viergever, while the attacking threat will be spearheaded by Koen Kostons and Ibrahim Cissoko, who will look to exploit any gaps in the Groningen structure.
Recent meetings between these clubs have been remarkably tight, often ending in stalemates. Their last competitive encounter in March 2026 finished 1-1, following a 2-2 draw in November 2025.
While PEC Zwolle did manage a 2-0 victory in May 2025, the overall trend in their head-to-head record points toward closely contested affairs. Both teams will be acutely aware that their recent history suggests little separates them on the pitch.
As the match approaches, the focus will be on whether either side can exploit the known weaknesses of their opponent. PEC Zwolle will need to be particularly wary in the final quarter of the game, having conceded 5 goals after the 75th minute in their last 10 outings.
Conversely, FC Groningen will rely on the form of Thom van Bergen, who has been involved in 6 goals during his last 10 appearances. If the hosts can provide him with the right service, they may find the breakthrough required to secure all three points.
