Utrecht vs PEC Zwolle Prediction

Utrecht host PEC Zwolle on 24 October 2026 at 17:30 in the Eredivisie. Utrecht arrive off consecutive wins: a 2-1 victory over Twente where Angel Alarcon scored twice, followed by a win over Willem II. Zwolle snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 demolition of Go Ahead Eagles, though that result masks deeper problems on the road. Utrecht's home defence has leaked 2.70 goals per game this season. Zwolle concede 2.20 away from home but have won only twice in their last ten matches. Sherel Floranus picked up a knock for Zwolle; Damian van der Haar may replace him. Utrecht have no fresh injury concerns and should field a full squad.

Utrecht's last ten at home: three wins, two draws, five losses, averaging 1.60 goals for and 2.70 against. Zwolle away in their last ten: two wins, one draw, seven losses, averaging 1.00 goals for and 2.50 against. The head-to-head record between these sides spans 2013 to 2016, with six meetings producing a mixed picture: two draws, two Utrecht wins, two Zwolle wins.

Best Bet

Utrecht to win. The hosts have superior recent form and a full squad available, while Zwolle's away record is poor despite their weekend confidence boost. At 1xBet, Utrecht are priced at 1.68. The prediction is Utrecht 3-1 Zwolle.

Odds to Watch

Over 2.5 goals appeals given both teams' defensive frailties. Utrecht concede heavily at home; Zwolle have been porous throughout the season. The draw at 1xBet sits at 4.28, a long price that reflects Utrecht's home advantage and current form. Zwolle's away win is 4.69 at 1xBet, pricing in their inconsistency on the road.
