VS
PEC Zwolle and Groningen present an unusually even Eredivisie head-to-head, with Groningen holding only a slight edge and draws forming an important part of the picture. The teams shared a 1–1 draw in Zwolle on 13 March 2026 and a 2–2 draw in Groningen on 23 November 2025, after PEC won 2–0 on 18 May 2025. Their appeal comes from the absence of a settled script.

Stats for this game
Matchup PEC Zwolle VS Groningen
Small differences in a level contest
Groningen’s narrow advantage in the overall balance does not translate into a firm hierarchy. The 1–1 draw at PEC Zwolle on 13 March 2026 and the 2–2 draw at Groningen on 23 November 2025 show both venues producing resistance. PEC’s 2–0 home victory on 18 May 2025 supplies the clearest counterpoint, demonstrating that either side can create separation on a particular day.
Draws shape the identity
A 0–0 draw in Groningen on 8 December 2024 adds another reminder that neither badge guarantees a decisive margin. These results are better read as evidence of a finely balanced pairing than as a promise of a specific score or tempo. The question for future meetings is practical and enduring: can Groningen turn its slight edge into a win, or will PEC Zwolle again keep the contest within reach? The answer will depend on who manages the small moments without erasing the matchup’s underlying equality.
