PSV vs Zwolle prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on April 23, 2026
In the 31st round of the Dutch Eredivisie on April 23, 2026, a match will take place between PSV and Zwolle. Both teams no longer have anything to fight for in the standings.
PSV vs Zwolle: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Eindhoven giants reaffirmed their status as the number one club in modern Dutch football last season, once again coming out on top. This year, not everything has gone smoothly—despite some spectacular wins, Peter Bosz’s men did not qualify for the Champions League playoffs and were knocked out of the cup by modest NEC. However, in the Eredivisie, they have long had no real pursuers, which perhaps explains the abundance of slip-ups in recent matches. Nevertheless, they beat Sparta 2-0 in the last round.
Last spring, PEC finished 10th with 41 points, just missing out on playoff qualification. This season, they can simply play out the campaign, losing much more often than winning, but still keeping clear of the danger zone. In the last round, they played a spectacular draw with Excelsior.
The champions still stand alone statistically: scoring an average of 2.8 goals per game, they can afford to concede 1.33. Their next opponent scores just 1.33 goals per game but concedes two on average.
Previous Matches: PSV vs Zwolle
After a decade of defeats, PEC finally won at home 3-1 in January last year. But this season, they have already lost again to the title holders.
With motivation at zero, class and home advantage become key. Both clearly favor the hosts—back them with a "-1.5 goal" handicap (odds – 1.60).
