PEC Zwolle is on its way to finishing in the middle of the Eredivisie. In recent weeks, the team of coach Johnny Jansen has lost touch with the teams competing for the play-offs for European football. Moreover, the team has not won in four games and the total score of the last three games is a disappointing 1-10. PEC Zwolle has 27 points from 24 games and was in 13th place in the standings before the match round. To still make something of the season, the home game against bottom-placed FC Volendam must be won. However, the results in the previous twelve games at home do not give direct reason for optimism. If you look at the 11 points in 12 home games, those performances have everything to do with a relegation candidate. While it often works out in away games, as evidenced by the 5-0 away win in Volendam on December 2. FC Volendam has bigger problems and is actually in direct relegation trouble. The team has been under the leadership of coach Regillio Simons since the turn of the year and has collected a total of seven points at home and six away. The last point was earned in the away game against Vitesse and gave the team hope. However, the hopeless home defeats against sc Heerenveen and NEC did not offer any perspective. Looking at the remaining program of the Volendammers, the month of April will be crucial for the Eredivisie aspirations. Directly after the international break, Almere away and Feyenoord at home are the run-up to the key games against RKC and Excelsior. Around the weekend of the KNVB Cup final, FC Volendam will know if it will still be competing in the last four games or if it will be relegated. Top scorer Lennart Thy has been dry for three games and earned Zwolle the last point with his goal against Go Ahead Eagles. At FC Volendam, Robert Mühren is the top scorer. He scored his last goal on November 5 of last year. FC Volendam has kept a clean sheet only once this season and is on a streak of eight games without a win.
