Zwolle are in a very intriguing position in the Eredivisie, they are as far away from the European spots as they are from the relegation zone - so their season is still in the balance, and this game could be decisive in setting their challenge for the rest of the campaign.
Zwolle have seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, and have notably seen 54 goals across their 13 away matches in the Eredivisie this season (4.15 per game). Only Heracles, who have the worst away record in the division, have conceded more goals (37) than the 35 that Zwolle have conceded on the road in the Dutch top flight this term.
Sparta are locked in a battle to secure a spot in Europe next season, and can discourage a potential challenger with all three points here. Sparta have only managed to win five of their 12 home games in the Eredivisie this season, so this has the feeling of a game that will have chances at both ends. These 12 games have produced 33 goals, working out to an average of 2.75 goals per game.
