PEC Zwolle vs Feyenoord Prediction

PEC Zwolle will come into this game as the underdogs. Much will depend on the form of Iran international Reza Ghoochannejhad, having been in good goal-scoring form last season.

Feyenoord, on the other hand, will rely on Netherlands international Steven Berghuis, who has been in fine form since joining the club. Orkun Kokcu, the young Turkey international who has been linked with a move to English side Arsenal, could play a pivotal role as well.

Prediction: PEC Zwolle 0-2 Feyenoord
