Preview
The Zwolle vs Heerenveen prediction for November 28, 2025, is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Eredivisie fixtures of the late autumn. With both sides navigating injuries, tactical tweaks, and fresh faces in the dugout, fans and punters alike are eager to see which team will seize the initiative at MAC³PARK Stadion. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just here for the football, this preview breaks down everything you need to know—plus a few laughs to keep things lively.
Let’s start with the home side, PEC Zwolle. Henry van der Vegt, who took the reins earlier this year, has had to reach deep into his tactical bag of tricks. That’s mostly because Zwolle’s treatment room is starting to look like a rush-hour train—crowded and not particularly cheerful. Key men like Odysseus Velanas and Zico Buurmeester are out with ankle injuries, while Tristan Gooijer’s hamstring ensures he’ll be watching from the sidelines. First-choice goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar and midfielder Damian van der Haar are also unavailable, so Tom de Graaff is expected to don the gloves. The likely defensive quartet features Olivier Aertssen, Simon Graves, Anselmo García MacNulty, and Sherel Floranus, while midfield duties will probably fall to Ryan Thomas, Thijs Oosting, and Jamiro Monteiro.
Up front, Zwolle is expected to rely on the pace and creativity of Shola Shoretire, Koen Kostons, and Kaj de Rooij. Van der Vegt’s approach has been pragmatic, often dictated by necessity rather than choice. Sitting 15th in the table with 12 points from 12 matches, Zwolle’s defensive woes are well documented—they’ve conceded 27 goals, making every match an adventure for their fans and a potential heart attack for their manager.
Heerenveen, meanwhile, arrives with a slightly healthier squad and a bit more spring in their step. Robin Veldman, who returned to the club as manager in March, has instilled a blend of cautious defending and high pressing. Levi Smans is close to shaking off a knee injury, but Pawel Bochniewicz remains a long-term absentee. The attacking duo of Dylan Vente and Jacob Trenskow have been in fine form, combining for nine of Heerenveen’s 19 goals so far. With 14 points from 12 games and a recent run of three wins, two draws, and just one loss, Heerenveen sits 12th—hardly title contenders, but certainly more stable than their hosts.
When it comes to head to head meetings, Heerenveen holds the upper hand with 17 wins from 35 encounters, while Zwolle has managed 10 victories and 8 draws. These fixtures tend to be lively affairs, averaging 2.57 goals per game. Their last Eredivisie meeting, back in February 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw—a result that reflected the competitive balance between the sides. Both teams have shown an ability to surprise: Zwolle recently held Groningen to a 2-2 draw away (despite odds of 6.6), and Heerenveen stunned Ajax with a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam.
Now, let’s get nerdy with the numbers. Our AI’s Zwolle vs Heerenveen prediction is clear: the away side is favored, with a calculated trust level of 8.5 out of 10 for a Heerenveen win (odds 2.12). For those who like a bit of insurance, the best tip is X2 (Heerenveen to win or draw), boasting a confidence rating of 10.0 and odds of 1.37. The AI also projects over 2.5 goals (odds 1.58, confidence 8.0), which fits the historical pattern of goals in this fixture.
Expected stats paint a picture of Heerenveen dominance in possession (58% vs Zwolle’s 42%) and attacking output (16 shots to Zwolle’s 9, with 6 on target for the visitors). The predicted final score? A lively 3-2 win for Heerenveen, with a 1-1 scoreline at half-time. Corners and cards are expected to be modest—8 corners in total (6 for Heerenveen), and just one yellow card for the hosts.
If you’re looking for value, the away win or draw (X2) seems almost too sensible, while the over 2.5 goals bet is backed by both recent form and historical trends. With Zwolle’s leaky defense and Heerenveen’s attacking edge, don’t be surprised if this one turns into a goal fest.
To wrap up this Zwolle vs Heerenveen prediction, here’s what we know: Zwolle’s injury woes and shaky defense give Heerenveen a real edge, especially with the visitors’ attacking duo in form. The AI’s confidence in an away result is hard to ignore, and the stats suggest entertainment is on the menu. If you’re betting, the X2 market and over 2.5 goals are both strong plays. And if you’re just watching, expect drama, goals, and maybe a few moments where you’ll need to remind yourself to breathe.
Whether you’re here for the betting tips, the stats, or just the love of Eredivisie football, this Zwolle vs Heerenveen prediction has you covered. Enjoy the match—and may your nerves (and your bets) survive the 90 minutes!
