PEC Zwolle v Volendam: top-half push meets survival fight | OneFootball

PEC Zwolle host Volendam in the Eredivisie on Saturday, 7 February 2026 in Zwolle, with the hosts eyeing the top half and the visitors seeking breathing space above the relegation play-off spot.

Volendam edged the reverse fixture 2-1 in September, but Zwolle's recent home form has picked up with back-to-back league wins against AZ and Telstar.

Zwolle have won six of 10 home games and arrive with two victories in their last three league matches. Volendam's league form is mixed, and they have yet to win away this season, taking just two points on the road and conceding 22 goals away from home.

Team news could shape the balance. PEC Zwolle list several injuries, including goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar and forward Shola Shoretire. For Volendam, defender Yannick Leliendal is suspended and Gibson Osahumen Yah is injured.

Routes to goal may run through the flanks. Zwolle have relied on open play rather than set pieces, with only one set piece goal all season, and deliver crosses at 18.46% accuracy. Volendam send in a high volume of balls from wide areas and could look to that outlet again. Koen Kostons is a clear threat for Zwolle with 10 league goals, while creator Kaj de Rooij has five assists.

Zwolle start in ninth on 26 points and a win would lift them to 29, keeping them in the top half chase and closer to the play-off places. Volendam are 15th on 18 points and victory would take them to 21, widening their cushion above the relegation play-off spot.
