Willem II - PEC Zwolle ai prediction 06.11.2026 Eredivisie

Preview for match Willem II vs PEC Zwolle

Willem II and PEC Zwolle meet at the Koning Willem II Stadion on Friday, 6 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00. The Eredivisie fixture is part of matchday 12, and it brings together two sides with very different league positions but plenty to play for. Willem II are bottom of the table in 18th place, having collected just two points from 11 matches. PEC Zwolle arrive in 14th with 11 points, giving them a useful opportunity to strengthen their position and create further distance from the relegation places. Allard Lindhout has been appointed referee.

The contrast is especially sharp in the goals-against column. Willem II have scored 10 times but conceded 39 goals, a record that highlights their difficulty in keeping matches under control. Their home results have offered little relief: they are yet to win in five league games at the Koning Willem II Stadion, drawing once and losing four times. PEC Zwolle’s overall figures are also far from dominant, with 12 goals scored and 23 conceded, but their away record is more balanced. One win and two draws from five away fixtures suggest they can compete on the road, even if two defeats show that they are not immune to pressure.

Recent results add further context. Willem II have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions, while PEC Zwolle have taken two wins and a draw in the same span. The visitors also won the most recent direct meeting, a 2–1 result, and have three victories in the last five head-to-head encounters. Those details make PEC Zwolle the more convincing side on current evidence, although Willem II’s need for points could make the contest unpredictable. The hosts will hope to turn home support into a more resilient performance; the visitors will look to exploit the defensive weaknesses that have defined Willem II’s season.

Our betting tip for Willem II vs PEC Zwolle

Our betting prediction is a PEC Zwolle win — Tip 2. The visitors have a substantial advantage in the standings, a better recent run and a more encouraging away record than Willem II’s home form. The hosts have not won at home in the league this season and have conceded 39 goals overall, which gives PEC Zwolle a clear opportunity to find space and create chances. The 2.42 price for an away win at Betwinner offers a reasonable option, though bettors should remember that PEC Zwolle have also conceded regularly and are not a risk-free selection.

Our second tip is Both teams to score: Yes. Willem II have managed 10 goals in 11 league matches, and their need to respond after a heavy defeat could encourage a more forward-minded approach. PEC Zwolle have conceded 23 goals, so the home side may find openings even if the visitors are favoured to take all three points. The available price for Yes is 1.47 at Betano. This is a shorter price, but it reflects the possibility of goals at both ends given the teams’ defensive records.

AI prediction for Willem II vs PEC Zwolle

The AI forecast favours PEC Zwolle in the 1X2 market. Their 11 points compared with Willem II’s two, together with the hosts’ four defeats in their last five matches, make the away side the stronger statistical choice. Willem II’s 39 goals conceded are another important factor, particularly against an opponent that has shown greater consistency in recent weeks. A simple AI tip is 2 — PEC Zwolle to win.

For a correct-score selection, Willem II 1–2 PEC Zwolle is a plausible AI betting tip. It reflects the visitors’ advantage while allowing for Willem II to take advantage of their home setting and score. This is a forecast rather than a certainty: PEC Zwolle have conceded 23 goals in the league, and their away record includes two defeats as well as a win and two draws.

Willem II performance check

Willem II’s position at the foot of the table reflects a difficult opening 11 matchdays. They have earned two points, with no wins, two draws and nine defeats. Their goal difference of 10:39 points to problems at both ends: the team have not scored often enough to compensate for their defensive vulnerability. At home, the record is particularly concerning, with one draw and four losses from five matches.

Coach John Stegeman faces the challenge of restoring confidence and improving the side’s organisation. The 0–7 away loss to PSV Eindhoven was a severe setback, and the immediate priority will be to prevent another match from becoming stretched and difficult to manage. Willem II may need to be compact without the ball, limit errors in their own half and make better use of the chances they create. Their recent five-match sequence—one win and four defeats—shows that a response is urgently needed.

PEC Zwolle: current performance and league position

PEC Zwolle occupy 14th place with 11 points from 11 matches. Their record stands at three wins, two draws and six defeats, with 12 goals scored and 23 conceded. That is not a dominant campaign, but it is a considerably stronger platform than Willem II’s. PEC Zwolle have also been more productive recently, taking two wins and one draw in their last five matches.

Henry van der Vegt will want his side to build on their latest result, a 1–0 home win over ADO Den Haag. Away from home, PEC Zwolle have recorded one victory, two draws and two defeats. Those figures suggest they can earn points on their travels, though they will need to remain disciplined to avoid giving Willem II a route back into the game. Their recent form and the gap in the table make them favourites, but their defensive numbers indicate that they should not assume a straightforward clean sheet.

Last direct match

The last meeting between these clubs ended in a 2–1 away win for PEC Zwolle. That result gives the visitors a recent positive reference point, although one match cannot determine the outcome of this fixture. Willem II will be keen to improve on that performance, while PEC Zwolle can take confidence from having already found a way to win this matchup.

Head-to-head last direct meetings

Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Willem II have recorded one win, there has been one draw, and PEC Zwolle have won three times. The balance therefore favours the visitors, who have taken more victories in this recent series. The record is not overwhelming, however, and Willem II have shown that they can beat PEC Zwolle in this matchup. The historical figures support an away-side lean but should be considered alongside the current league form and the teams’ contrasting home and away records.

Performance in the last five matches

Willem II have won once and lost four times in their last five matches in all competitions, with no draws. That sequence points to a side struggling to find consistency and under pressure to improve. PEC Zwolle’s corresponding record is two wins, one draw and two defeats. Their form is not flawless, but they have avoided the run of repeated losses that has affected Willem II. The recent results therefore give PEC Zwolle the stronger momentum heading into Friday’s fixture.

Last match results: Willem II and PEC Zwolle

Willem II’s most recent outing ended in a 0–7 away defeat against PSV Eindhoven. The scoreline will have been damaging for confidence and underlines the defensive work required before this match. PEC Zwolle, by contrast, come into the fixture after a 1–0 home victory over ADO Den Haag. That narrow win may not settle every concern, but it gives them a more positive starting point and a recent example of securing a result.

Best odds and betting considerations

The listed best odds are 2.90 for a Willem II win at Gbets, 3.80 for a draw at Paripesa and 2.42 for a PEC Zwolle win at Betwinner.

Odds can change, so it is sensible to check the latest markets before placing a wager.

Our main selection is PEC Zwolle to win, with both teams to score as the secondary tip. The away side’s stronger points total and recent form make them the more logical 1X2 choice, while Willem II’s home advantage and PEC Zwolle’s defensive record leave room for a goal from the hosts.

Conclusion

PEC Zwolle enter this match with the stronger case. They are 12 points ahead of Willem II, have a better recent record and have already beaten them in the last direct meeting. Willem II’s winless home record and heavy defensive concessions make it difficult to back the hosts, even though their need for points could prompt a determined effort. PEC Zwolle’s own defensive weaknesses mean a clean sheet is far from guaranteed, which supports the secondary selection of both teams to score. The final prediction is Willem II 1–2 PEC Zwolle, with Tip 2 as the main 1X2 choice.
