Player to watch: Dylan Vente
Dylan Vente has been PEC Zwolle's best player since he joined the club on loan from Hibernian this summer. The 25-year-old has scored three out of PEC Zwolle's six Eredivisie games so far. In fact, Vente has scored in three consecutive appearances and will look to extend his scoring streak as Almere City come visiting on Sunday morning.
