Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including Ajax vs. PSV

Willem II vs. FC Twente (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Willem II and FC Twente get round 11 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season underway with a meeting at the Koning Willem II Stadion on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams emerged victorious from their respective last outings, as Willem II successfully navigated their first domestic cup involvement while Twente secured a first league win in just under a month.

We say: Willem II 1-3 FC Twente

Willem II were a tad lucky to have escaped a cup exit on Wednesday, but there will be a smaller margin for error in this weekend's matchup against a Twente side brimming with confidence.

We are backing the visitors to emerge victorious come the end of the 90 minutes.

Heracles vs. NAC Breda (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Securing consecutive wins for the first time since September will be the major objective for Heracles as they entertain the challenge of NAC Breda at the Asito Stadium on Saturday.

Breda, meanwhile, will head to Almelo this weekend looking to muster an immediate response to a first defeat in five matches across all competitions last time out.

We say: Heracles 1-1 NAC Breda

Breda's largely underwhelming form on the road so far means a victory this weekend could just be a tad out of reach.

Nonetheless, we are tipping them to come away with a share of the spoils from what should be a keenly contested affair.

Ajax vs. PSV (Saturday, 5.45pm)

The first De Topper meeting of the 2024-25 season and 186th overall sees Ajax host PSV Eindhoven at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Saturday in the pick of gameweek 11's Eredivisie action.

The historic Dutch sides enter the encounter occupying the first two spots in the league, albeit with the visitors eight points clear, having played a game more, putting the pressure of winning on Francesco Farioli's men.

We say: Ajax 1-2 PSV Eindhoven

Despite PSV missing Veerman's creativity at Ajax, the defending champions have so much attacking firepower to unpick Farioli's men. Thus, we back the visiting side to continue their winning run at the expense of their rivals in Saturday's De Topper clash.

Feyenoord vs. AZ (Saturday, 8.00pm)

In one of two high-profile matches round 11 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season has to offer, Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar will do battle at De Kuip on Saturday evening.

The home side are on a run of five straight victories across all competitions against this weekend's visitors, who last came out top in this fixture back in February 2022.

We say: Feyenoord 2-1 AZ Alkmaar

Tipped as major contenders to PSV's quest for consecutive league titles, both Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar have not lived up to expectations this season, but a victory in this weekend's meeting could serve as a turning point.

We expect an open and end-to-end affair with the hosts just about edging their visitors in the end.

Sittard vs. Heerenveen (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Two teams who have turned a corner of late go head to head in round 11 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season as Fortuna Sittard welcome Heerenveen to the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday.

The home side are unbeaten in five straight matches leading up to this one, while their visitors will be looking to make it three wins on the spin to continue their recent upturn in form.

We say: Fortuna Sittard 2-1 Heerenveen

Fortuna Sittard have turned things around of late and are favourites to emerge victorious against an opposing side without a point away from home in the league so far.

All evidence points to a victory for the home side here, although we expect the visitors to make it a lively contest.
