Zwolle preview: Hoping for another good showing at home
While Zwolle have been pretty inconsistent this season in the league, notching two wins, two draws, and four losses in eight games so far, both of their wins came from home games. With that in mind, Zwolle fans have enough reasons to be optimistic ahead of the team's upcoming duel with NAC Breda.
Meanwhile, Samir Lagsir and Tristan Gooijer are out with knee injuries and will remain out for a while. Zwolle will also have to manage without Braydon Man, Olivier Aertssen, and Simon Graves Jensen.
Predicted lineup: Schendelaar (GK), Floranus, El Azzouzi, MacNulty, Van der Haar, Van den Berg, Namli, Monteiro, Krastev, Vente & Mbayo

NAC Breda preview: Hoping for first points away from home
So far, NAC Breda have shown us two sides. At home, they have a record of three wins and one loss. Away from home, they've lost all four of their matches in the Eredivisie. Whether they are in for another poor performance against Zwolle or will they manage to secure first point(s) from away games this season, remains to be seen.
When it comes to team news, Aime Omgba, Cherrion Valerius, and Raul Paula are out with injuries at the moment.

Player to watch: Dylan Vente
While we don't expect to see any goals in this match, if someone can break the deadlock it is Vente, who has scored three goals for Zwolle this season in the Eredivisie in seven appearances.
