Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including Heracles vs. Ajax

RKC Waalwijk vs. Sparta (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Two teams in dire need of a victory go head to head at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday as RKC Waalwijk entertain the challenge of Sparta Rotterdam.

The hosts are currently on a six-game winless run, while their visitors have won just one of their last six matches leading up to this weekend's clash.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-1 Sparta Rotterdam

Both teams are currently low on confidence heading into this one and we expect a nervy and cagey affair. We are also backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

PSV vs. Almere City (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Aiming to bounce back after failing to win their last two matches across all competitions, PSV Eindhoven will host Almere City at Philips Stadion on Saturday evening in the Eredivisie.

The Farmers have established a healthy lead at the top of the table and will look to maintain it, while the Black Sheeps will hope to pull off an upset and steer further away from the relegation zone.

We say: PSV Eindhoven 3-1 Almere City

In this tie, PSV are overwhelming favourites and will view it as the ideal opportunity to bounce back from their Dutch Cup defeat to Feyenoord. We expect the home side to rack up plenty of goals, but the visitors should nick one in themselves.

Excelsior vs. Utrecht (Saturday, 8.00pm)

SBV Excelsior will be looking to make it back to back wins when they welcome FC Utrecht to Van Donge & De Roo Stadion in round 19 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie season.

On the other hand, the away side make the trip to Rotterdam aiming to end a run of five matches without a victory across all competitions.

We say: SBV Excelsior 1-1 FC Utrecht

Utrecht have endured a torrid campaign in front of goal but we are backing them to find the back of the net here en route to a share of the spoils come the sound of the final whistle.

Heracles vs. Ajax (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Aiming to extend their league unbeaten run to 11 matches, Ajax visit Heracles at the Erve Asito on Saturday.

A remarkable surge in form has propelled the visitors to fifth place in the Eredivisie table after a difficult start to the season, while their hosts seek to distance themselves further from the relegation zone.

We say: Heracles 0-3 Ajax

Ajax have rekindled their form and seem unstoppable at the moment. They are the clear favourites in this tie and look likely to extend their unbeaten run.
