Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including Fortuna Sittard vs. AZ Alkmaar

Sparta vs. Excelsior (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Round 22 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign sees Sparta Rotterdam and SBV Excelsior lock horns at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday.

The away side have the opportunity to complete a league double over their hosts having claimed a 2-1 victory in this season's reverse fixture.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 SBV Excelsior

Both sides have struggled for goals of late, but we are expecting an entertaining affair nonetheless. That said, we are backing Sparta Rotterdam to carry the day come the sound of the full-time whistle.

Sittard vs. AZ (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Fortuna Sittard will be aiming to avoid a third defeat on the bounce when they welcome AZ Alkmaar to the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Saturday evening.

The away side, meanwhile, make the trip to Sittard-Geleen looking to arrest a slump in form which has seen them fail to win any of their last five matches.

We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-2 AZ Alkmaar

AZ have had the upper hand in this fixture and will fancy themselves to continue their already established dominance. We are backing the away side to come out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.

Heerenveen vs. Go Ahead Eagles (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Heerenveen and Go Ahead Eagles will do battle at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday evening in round 22 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie season.

The hosts set out to secure back to back victories having ended an eight-game winless run last time out, while the away side will be looking to return to winning ways.

We say: Heerenveen 2-1 Go Ahead Eagles

Goals have been a constant feature of this fixture, and we expect this weekend's encounter to follow suit. We can also see the home side getting the job done in the end.

PEC Zwolle vs. Almere City (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Unbeaten in each of their last six matches, PEC Zwolle entertain the challenge of Almere City at the MAC3PARK Stadion on Saturday evening.

The home side will be looking to complete a league double over their visitors having claimed a 2-1 triumph in September's reverse fixture.

We say: PEC Zwolle 1-0 Almere City

Almere City have been poor at the top end of the pitch all-season long, and we can see them drawing another blank in this one en route to a narrow defeat come the end of the 90 minutes.
