Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including NEC Nijmegen vs. FC Twente

Nijmegen vs. FC Twente (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Matchday 18 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie season sees NEC and FC Twente face off against each other at Stadion de Goffert on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts picked up their sixth win in seven games last time out, while their visitors saw their six-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.

We say: NEC 1-2 FC Twente

FC Twente's dominance of this fixture makes them huge favourites to come away with maximum points here, and while we expect NEC to put a good fight, we can see the away side just about doing enough to get the job done.

Heracles vs. Volendam (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Having ended a run of three consecutive Eredivisie defeats last time out, Heracles play host to FC Volendam at the Erve Asito on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the away side make the journey to Almelo aiming to get themselves back on track having lost five of their last six league matches.

We say: Heracles 2-1 FC Volendam

Volendam have been defensively suspect all-season long and Heracles will be looking to capitalise on their visitors' frailties at the back. We are tipping the home side to get the job done come the sound of the full-time whistle.

AZ vs. PEC Zwolle (Saturday, 7.00pm)

AZ Alkmaar and PEC Zwolle kick off their second half of the 2023-24 Eredivisie season with a meeting at the AFAS Stadion on Saturday evening.

Neither team was able to come away with maximum points from their last league outings, and they will both be keen to return to winning ways here.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-1 PEC Zwolle

Goals have been a constant feature of this fixture, and we expect Saturday's encounter to follow suit. That said, AZ are huge favourites to come out on top, and we fully back the home side to live up to expectations and run out comfortable winners in the end.

Almere City vs. Sittard (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Off the back of contrasting results last time out, Almere City and Fortuna Sittard face off at the Yanmar Stadion in round 18 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign on Saturday.

The hosts suffered a first defeat in five matches in their most recent outing, while their visitors made it two wins from their last three matches.

We say: Almere City 1-1 Fortuna Sittard

There is little to choose between the sides, and this weekend's clash could easily go either way. That said, we are backing a share of the spoils with honours even come the end of the 90 minutes.
