Stats for this game
Matchup PEC Zwolle VS Excelsior
PEC Zwolle carry the stronger profile
The balance favours PEC Zwolle, whose wins have appeared at home and away. PEC won 2–1 at home on 6 April 2024 and 4–2 at Excelsior on 22 October 2023, giving them the clearer historical position. The scores do not point to a single kind of encounter, however: PEC’s advantage can be narrow or emphatic depending on the setting. That mixture gives the contest a clear shape while leaving Excelsior a credible route to resistance.
Excelsior keep the margin live
Excelsior’s 2–1 home win on 20 December 2025 is the central counterexample, while the 2–2 draw at PEC Zwolle on 12 April 2026 shows another way to interrupt the hierarchy. These results keep the pairing competitive without disguising PEC’s broader edge. Future meetings will ask whether Excelsior can turn another home opportunity into separation, or whether PEC can reassert control when the margin is tight.
