Double chance : PEC Zwolle or draw

PEC Zwolle are coming into this match in terrible shape. They have lost three of their last five games, including a heavy 6-1 defeat, and have not won a single one of those recent matches. Heracles, on the other hand, are in much better form, having won two of their last five away games without conceding a single goal. While the history between these two teams has been very one-sided, with Heracles winning most of the recent meetings by big margins (like 8-2 and 4-2), PEC Zwolle have the home advantage and tend to play better in front of their own fans. This looks like a tricky match to call, but based on current form and recent results, Heracles look stronger and should take the win.
