Considering recent form, PEC Zwolle has shown resilience with three wins and two draws in their last five matches, indicating a positive trajectory heading into future games. Conversely, FC Groningen's form has been inconsistent with two wins, two losses, and a draw, showing a need for improvement in their upcoming fixtures.
