PEC Zwolle and Vitesse set out in search of their first Eredivisie win since the turn of the year when they go head-to-head on Friday.
Edward Sturing‘s men journey to the MAC³PARK stadion unbeaten in their last four games against the hosts and will look to extend this fine run.
PEC Zwolle, on the other hand, were involved in a share of the spoils once again as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against AZ Alkmaar last Saturday.
Johnny Jansen’s side have now gone four consecutive games without a win, suffering a 3-1 loss against NEC Nijmegen on December 9 before picking up three draws in their subsequent three outings.
With 20 points from 18 matches, Zwolle are currently 10th in the Eredivisie table, five points behind the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff places.
Vitesse, on the other hand, were sent crashing back to earth last time out when they fell to a 2-1 home loss against Feyenoord.
Prior to that, Sturing’s men booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 win against Amsterdamsche FC on January 18.
Vitesse have now lost 12 of their 18 Eredivisie matches this season and currently sit rooted to the bottom of the table, having picked up just 12 points so far.
