Den Haag vs Zwolle Prediction & Betting tips
At the beginning of the season, ADO Den Haag had the honor to open the league and Hagenezen will close their first half of the season on Friday-evening with a home match against the well-performing PEC Zwolle.
Den Haag :
For ADO Den Haag it remains to be seen whether they can start the second half of the season as a team from the left or right row. The team from the court town is currently in the right-hand row, but the Hague team will not win PEC Zwolle on Friday-evening and if Heracles wins this weekend, then ADO Den Haag will make the switch to the right-hand row. It will of course be a concern for ADO Den Haag, because the Hagenezen can look back on an excellent first half of the season. Alfons Groenendijk already managed to score 23 points with his team and after the winter break the Hagenezen were able to perform just as well as before the winter break, then if everything goes well they can even make a throw at the playoffs for European football.
At ADO Den Haag they can look back on a more than excellent first half of the season, but ADO Den Haag-defender Nick Kuipers can not look back with satisfaction on the last game he played in the shirt of the club in The Hague. ADO Den Haag went to visit PSV Eindhoven last week and the Hague team were already at a 3-0 disadvantage within 35 minutes because Kuipers was very unhappy in his way of defending three times. Eventually it remained 3-0 in the Philips Stadium, but Groenendijk saw that German Thomas Meißner took his second yellow card in the last ten minutes and he will sit on the stands at the Car Jeans Stadium on Friday evening.
In Eindhoven, Groenendijk had to make it without Tom Beugelsdijk and the ADO Den Haag coach also saw goalkeeper Robert Zwinkels drop out. Playing along with Beugelsdijk and Zwinkels is still questionable at the time of writing and if they were both unable to start, Nick Kuipers will form the central duo with Danny Bakker and Zwinkels will be replaced by Tim Coremans. In addition, Groenendijk still has to make it Friday night without the attackers Ricardo Kishna, Melvyn Lorenzen and defender Wilfried Kanon.
Zwolle:
If we have to pinpoint the surprise of this season in the Eredivisie, then of course that is PEC Zwolle. Last season, after seventeen games, the Swollenans were at a nacompetition spot and had only fourteen points, while they are now in fourth place and have collected no less than 33 points. PEC Zwolle is of course not as bad as the first half of last season and the Blauwvingers perform extremely well this season, but the difference is what I think especially in the trainer change and the purchase of Diederik Boer. At PEC Zwolle they seemed to be looking forward to Ron Jans last season, who did a good job in Overijssel, and with John van ‘t Schip there is a new trainer at the helm and that is paying off for the time being. In addition, the Blauwvingers took back Diederik Boer last summer and the PEC Zwolle-keeper has already taken more points than Mickey van den Hart has done in the 1.5 years before.
PEC Zwolle last week won 2-3 in the league on a visit to Willem II and on Tuesday-evening the Blauwvingers also won in the cup tournament. For PEC Zwolle, the game against NEC Nijmegen was on the program and the Zwolle players won 2-0 vs. the Nijmegen team by goals from Younnes Mokhtar, who may have played his last match for PEC Zwolle, and Terell Ondaan. PEC Zwolle has placed itself for the last eight in the NEC victory and the Zwollenaren are still active in the cup tournament after the winter break.
The PEC Zwolle year-end is therefore a match in The Hague against ADO and Van ‘t Schip will have to puzzle around in the Car Jeans Stadium. Dirk Marcellis and Younnes Mokhtar took their fifth yellow card of this season in the league game against Willem II and are thus suspended for ADO-out. In The Hague Van ‘t Schip will have to do without four of his six defenders and the PEC Zwolle coach will probably start with Bram from Poland, Erik Bakker and Kingsley Ehizibue and that would mean that there is still a place in the defense vacant .
