Zwolle hosts FC Emmen in round 13 of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Friday, December 18th at MAC³PARK Stadion (Zwolle)
In general, Zwolle shows its usual level. Blue Fingers won the Dutch Cup in 2014. Then they even made their debut in European Cups but lost to the very first opponent, Sparta Prague. However, Zwolle managed to climb to a record 6th place and again made it to the cup final. After that splash, the team turned into a gray middle peasant. It is stronger than outsiders and does not risk being relegated but does not even claim to be in the middle of the standings. John Stegeman's wards were ranked 15th at the time of the suspension of the last championship. Now they are located a little higher (in 11th place), but they win rarely - only twice in 12 games played. By the way, December started with a 2-1 victory over Vitesse, but there were four unanswered goals from Ajax in the next round.

Emmen is by far the worst team in the division. According to the results of the 2017/2018 draw, the Red-Whites unexpectedly managed to win a dispute for the right to play in the Eredivisie. And the club scored enough points not to worry about relegation in two seasons (14th and 12th places). However, it seems that Dick Lukkien’s men never recovered from a long pause associated with coronavirus and quarantine. Because of all problems, they signed an agreement under which a sex shop became their title sponsor! Money is money, and the team management had to overcome the resistance of sports officials. But this did not particularly inspire Emmen to feats directly on the pitch. A couple of weeks before Christmas, the Red-Whites have not gained a single victory. They have only four points after 12 rounds, and their goal difference is 13-30. Truth be told, FC Emmen took home a draw with Den Haag in the last round, having interrupted a streak of six defeats in a row.
Zwolle only won in the last five official head-to-head meetings. In the previous season, it beat Emmen on the road (3-1). Zwolle has enough problems, but who should you beat, if not an outsider at home? We think the hosts will manage to gain three points.
Prediction for the match: Zwolle to win
