Eredivisie final day predictions including Feyenoord vs. Vitesse

sportsmole.co.uk, 28 May 2023, 05:10
AZ vs. PSV (Sunday, 1.30pm)

AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven draw the curtains on their 2022-23 Eredivisie campaigns when they go head to head in a mouth-watering season finale at the AFAS Stadion on Sunday.

While AZ will be looking to leapfrog Ajax into the Europa League qualification spot, the Rood-witten require at least a draw to confirm a second-placed finish and a spot in the Champions League qualifiers.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 1-1 PSV Eindhoven

Given the stakes of this weekend's clash, we anticipate a cagey affair with the two sides taking a cautious approach to the game. We predict that AZ and PSV will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

Cambuur vs. RKC Waalwijk (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Cambuur will be looking to conclude a dismal campaign on a positive note when they entertain the challenge of RKC Waalwijk at the Cambuur Stadion on Sunday.

The away side, on the other hand, remain in contention for a European place and make the journey to Leeuwarden knowing that nothing but three points would suffice.

We say: Cambuur 1-3 RKC Waalwijk

Both teams are defensively suspect, so an open game could be on the cards here. That said, Waalwijk have been, by far, the more capable side in front of goal, and we can see them emerging triumphant in the end.

Feyenoord vs. Vitesse (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Feyenoord set out to finish the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign unbeaten at home when they welcome Vitesse to De Kuip in Sunday's season finale.

As for Vites, they will be looking to build on last weekend's demolition of Groningen and pick up just their second away victory since the start of February.

We say: Feyenoord 2-0 Vitesse

While this weekend's clash is nothing more than a dead rubber for both sides, Feyenoord's home record makes them firm favourites and we fancy them to pick up a routine victory.

Sittard vs. Nijmegen (Sunday, 1.30pm)

With little to play for in round 34 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season, Fortuna Sittard and NEC go head-to-head at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday.

Both teams are on a rough patch heading into this weekend's contest and now set out to try to conclude the current campaign on a winning note by securing all three points here.

We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-1 NEC

Neither team is on a good run of results heading into this one and the clash could easily swing either way. That said, we are backing a share of the spoils with both sides settling for a point apiece at the end of the 90 minutes.

Groningen vs. Sparta (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam draw the curtains on their 2022-23 Eredivisie campaigns when they square off at the Euroborg Stadion on Sunday.

For both sides, this weekend's clash is nothing more than a dead rubber, as the already-relegated hosts will be playing for pride while the visitors are looking ahead to the European competition playoffs.

We say: Groningen 0-2 Sparta Rotterdam

With their respective regular campaigns already decided, Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam will be simply playing for pride at this point. The hosts' form is currently nothing to write home about and we fancy Steijn's men claiming all three points.

Heerenveen vs. Go Ahead Eagles (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Off the back of consecutive stalemates, Heerenveen draw the curtain on their 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign with a meeting against Go Ahead Eagles at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Sunday.

With both teams still in contention for a European place heading into the final matchday, this weekend's meeting promises to be a keenly-contested affair.

We say: Heerenveen 1-0 Go Ahead Eagles

With the two lowest-scoring sides in the top 10 facing off against each other, we are anticipating a nervy and cagey affair with the home side narrowly getting the job done in the end.

FC Twente vs. Ajax (Sunday, 1.30pm)

FC Twente and Ajax bring their 2022-23 Eredivisie campaigns to an end when they go head to head at the Grolsch Veste Stadium on Sunday.

While the Tukkers will be playing for pride, the visitors will be hoping for a late twist as they look to leapfrog PSV Eindhoven into the Champions League qualifying spot.

We say: FC Twente 0-2 Ajax

While Twente have nothing to play for, Ajax's European ambitions potentially hinge on Sunday's result. Heitinga's side cannot afford a slip-up this weekend and we fancy them to claim all three points in this one.

Utrecht vs. Emmen (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Looking to conclude two largely contrasting seasons on a high, FC Utrecht and Emmen will do battle at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday in the final weekend of the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign.

The hosts have successfully secured a European place by the virtue of their league standings, while the visitors are headed for the second tier of Dutch football.

We say: FC Utrecht 2-0 Emmen

Having seen their survival hopes go up in flames last time out, Emmen will head into Sunday's clash with little to play for. Utrecht, meanwhile, will be keen to end the campaign strongly, and we are tipping the hosts to carry the day come the sound of the final whistle.

Volendam vs. Excelsior (Sunday, 1.30pm)

The 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign comes to an end this Sunday as FC Volendam host SBV Excelsior at Kras Stadion.

Despite a 3-0 defeat at Go Ahead Eagles last weekend, Het Nieuwe Oranje are assured of competing in the top flight next season, currently a point above the Rotterdam-based side in 14th, with the latter officially staving off relegation thanks to a 3-0 triumph over Fortuna Sittard.

We say: FC Volendam 2-0 SBV Excelsior

Volendam are at their best when playing on home soil, while their opponents have conceded three or more goals away from home on eight occasions over this campaign. All of that to say, we believe Volendam are due to end their lengthy winless drought against Excelsior in the Eredivisie on Sunday.
