Heerenveen vs PEC Zwolle Prediction (22.08.2026)

Heerenveen was not far from the battle for a place in the European tournaments last season in the Netherlands, but ultimately failed to achieve that goal. During the summer break, the team played several friendly matches, in which they performed quite well, and the positive results continued even after the start of the new campaign. Right from the first round, Heerenveen defeated Twente, and last week they reached a prestigious 2:2 draw in their away match against Ajax.

Zwolle also faced Twente and Ajax in the first two rounds, but unlike Heerenveen, they lost both of their matches. Last season, the team was close to relegation, but ultimately managed to retain their place in the elite. It seems that in the current campaign, Zwolle's main goal will be survival, and for now, I do not expect any significant feats from the team.

The start of the season shows a serious difference in the current state of the two teams. Heerenveen took four points against the same two opponents, from whom Zwolle failed to win any, and now they will also have the home advantage. All this tips the scales in favor of Heerenveen, and my prediction is for their victory.
