Breda vs Zwolle tips and predictions

Prices look accurate ahead of tight KNVB Beker encounter

The visitors are a level above this Breda side.

Tread carefully when assessing this one but Breda could produce a result against Zwolle.

Time will tell if it's relevant but Breda might have reasons to be confident about adding to Zwolle's woes. On the road the visitors have sometimes looked ill-prepared; they've lost 14 of their last 16 away trips. While they've obviously had different opposition, that doesn't appear to be the record of a team that has prepared correctly for this.

The hosts have been good in previous performances. Breda scored three or more goals in 6 of their recent 19 matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. When defending they have conceded no more than once in 13 of their last 16 games.

Away from home Zwolle have actually conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 6 matches. If all is not well it might not just be in defence. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of their previous standards. They averaged just 0.6 goals in their last 9 away matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the fastest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can score as they could be well matched. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the smart play from that market. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts deal with a calibre of football they aren't used to.
