Zwolle vs Levante Prediction & Betting tips
There is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both teams are vertical midfield forward. Because of this and knowing that they are not defending well in this pre-season, we believe that the bet “plus 2.5 goals” is interesting to consider. Paint to be an open duel and with spaces, being possible that there is one or two so many from the initial stage. Remember that the Dutch are already shot to this match after playing several friendlies, being able to take advantage of the defensive mistakes shown by their rival in their first preparation game against Bournemouth (3-4 defeat). Of course, despite this defeat, the Spanish have what it takes to generate chances and convert a pair of goals in favor.
PEC Zwolle:
The campaign of the Dutch team last season was acceptable but irregular in general terms (9th place product of 12 wins, 8 draws and 14 falls in total). In matters of goals, scored 42 in favor and yielded 54 against, demonstrating a deep imbalance between lines. Its objective is to be more compact when marking, but without losing its offensive explosion. Playing at home, he managed to register acceptable markers after winning 8 games, draw another 5 and lose the remaining 4 that he played in this condition (27 goals scored and 20 assigned in his goal). In summary, it can be affirmed that PEC Zwolle is a competitive competitor despite his mistakes at the time of scoring. He always seeks to go forward, and it is very difficult for him to perform the defense-attack and attack-defense transitions well.
In terms of friendlies, the tulip box has played a lot of games this summer, which have allowed him to catch the rhythm of football and confidence in the proposal of coach Schip. If results are concerned, the team won 4 matches and lost the other 2 that played. These were the results achieved so far: Victory 1-3 against VV Berkum, win 1-3 against Genemuiden, victory 0-5 against SV Dalfsen, defeat 2-5 against Meppen, win 5-0 against Excelsior and fall 3 -1 against Hannover. If we analyze these 6 matches, we can conclude that the team has the ability to score and to give goals, being feasible that the bets “both teams score” and “plus 2.5 goals” will be finalized.
Levante:
The goal of the squad “azulgrana” for the 2018-2019 season is to consolidate in the championship and not fight again for the permanence in the first division. To achieve this leap in quality, the team of coach Paco López is working hard and even from the tactical point of view, trying to put together the football idea he showed in the final stretch of the Santander League 2017-2018 (great run of positive results that allowed him a Levante stay one more year in the top division of Spanish football). Unlike his rival, the Iberian side has only played 1 friendly match, missing perhaps football rhythm at the time of elaboration. However, he already showed that he continues to have an offensive explosion, after scoring 3 goals in his first preparation game (3-4 defeat against English Bournemouth, after drawing 3-3 in the initial stage).
Continuing with the analysis you should know that the preseason of the campus began a few days ago. The first part was held in Alicante and the second will be held in the Netherlands (July 26 to August 5). In terms of reinforcements, the leadership has not signed too many players so far, having to improve in this regard. Only goalkeeper Aitor Fernández has arrived from the Numancia of Liga2. Yes, there have been players of relevance as Cabaco, Coke, Rochina and Rober Pier, which were important bastions in the reaction of Levante in the final part of the last championship. As an added fact we tell you that the Colombian Jefferson Lerma rested the first part of the preseason due to his participation in the World Cup. Just joined in the second stage, it is vital that it is coupled as soon as possible to what was done by their peers. The following friendlies of the team will be against Feyenoord, FC Utrecht, Heerenveen, Albacete and Zaragoza.
The first and only match that the Dutch and Spaniards had had three years ago and the final result was favorable for Levante (win 1-3 after winning 0-1 the first 45 ‘minutes of play).
