PEC Zwolle vs ADO Den Haag: a bottom-table Eredivisie meeting

This Round 11 Eredivisie fixture is played on Sunday 1 November 2026 at MAC³PARK Stadion. The match decides who gets some breathing space at the bottom. PEC Zwolle sit 15th with 8 points from 10 games, while ADO Den Haag are 17th with 6 points and occupy the relegation place that leads to the Eerste Divisie.

A win for the hosts would stretch the gap to five points. A win for ADO would lift them level on points with Zwolle, and the pair are only two points apart on current numbers. Feyenoord lead the table on 24 points, so for both clubs this season is about the lower end of the table.

PEC Zwolle and ADO Den Haag recent form

Zwolle's last five games read LLWDL: one win, one draw and three defeats, with 6 goals scored and 8 conceded (1.2 and 1.6 per game). They have no clean sheets in that run and failed to score twice. Their league form is DWLLL, and the latest result was a 1-2 home loss to FC OSS in the KNVB Beker on 28 October.

At home Zwolle have played three of those five: one win and two defeats, with 5 goals for and 4 against (1.67 scored and 1.33 conceded per game). The 4-1 win over GO Ahead Eagles on 18 October was their best result, but it sits between a 0-1 home loss to Cambuur and the cup exit.

ADO's last five are DDWLD: one win, three draws and one defeat, with 8 scored and 8 conceded (1.6 each per game). They scored in all five games and both sides found the net in every one, though they have no clean sheets. That run includes a 2-1 home win over PSV Eindhoven on 17 October and a 2-3 home loss to Heerenveen a week later. Away from home they have drawn both of their two games, 2-2 at Telstar and 1-1 at Excelsior '31 in the cup, for 3 goals scored and 3 conceded.

PEC Zwolle vs ADO Den Haag team news

Zwolle have two players out: S. Floranus with an injury and F. Krastev with an Achilles tendon injury. Our data lists no doubtful players for the hosts. With a defence that has conceded 23 goals in 10 league games, any disruption to the squad matters.

ADO are also missing two: D. Barany (thigh injury) and L. Reischl (groin injury) are both ruled out. No doubts are reported for the visitors either.

Line-ups are not yet published. They are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, and we will see then how both coaches have adjusted to the absences.

Storylines: two sides looking for stability

Zwolle have lost six of their ten league games and have a goal difference of minus 12, the worst of the two teams. They have lost four of their last five, all in different competitions, so the hosts will want to stop the slide in front of their own crowd. Their 11 league goals are the lowest of the pair.

ADO have the poorer record in points, with one win and three draws from ten. They have scored 13 league goals, two more than Zwolle, and their goal difference of minus 10 is slightly better. Their recent run of draws and a win over PSV suggests a side that can compete, but they have not turned that into league points often enough.

Where PEC Zwolle vs ADO Den Haag may be decided

The main contest is attack against defence. Both teams have conceded 23 goals in 10 league games, so neither can rely on a solid base. ADO have scored in all five recent matches, while Zwolle failed to score in two of theirs, which gives the visitors a small edge in attacking reliability.

Zwolle's home form is more productive than their overall numbers, at 1.67 goals per home game. Over 2.5 goals occurred in three of Zwolle's last five and three of ADO's, and both teams scored in three of Zwolle's and all five of ADO's. That points to an open game where the first goal may shape the afternoon.

PEC Zwolle vs ADO Den Haag head-to-head

The listed results show six meetings since 2019: four ADO wins, two Zwolle wins and no draws. The games averaged 2.5 goals, with three of the six featuring both teams scoring and three going over 2.5 goals.

The most recent meetings were in the Eerste Divisie: ADO won 3-1 at home on 17 February 2023 and 2-1 away on 16 September 2022. Zwolle have won only twice in the series, 3-1 at home in October 2019 and 2-0 away in December 2020. At MAC³PARK Stadion the hosts have one win and two defeats in the games listed, so history does not favour them.

PEC Zwolle vs ADO Den Haag prediction

Our lean is a tight match with a slight home edge and a real chance of a draw. Zwolle's home scoring rate of 1.67 per game and ADO's record of two draws away from home are the main reasons, along with the fact that both attacks have been more dependable than either defence. The head-to-head record points the other way, so this is a low-confidence lean rather than a strong one.

On goals, the lean is towards both teams scoring and a total of three or more. Both teams concede 1.6 goals per game in the last five and neither has kept a clean sheet. The absences on each side could change the picture, and an early goal would make the game more open still.
