Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including RKC Waalwijk vs. Feyenoord

Go Ahead Eagles vs. Nijmegen (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Separated by just two points in the 2024-25 Eredivisie table, Go Ahead Eagles and NEC will do battle at De Adelaarshorst in matchday 15 on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams were on the receiving end of respective defeats last time out as the hosts came out empty-handed from a five-goal thriller against FC Twente, while the away side were defeated by Ajax.

We say: Go Ahead Eagles 1-1 NEC

There is little to pick between the teams here, as Saturday's game could easily swing either way, and consequently, we are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the sound of the final whistle.

Sparta vs. NAC Breda (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to avoid a sixth straight league defeat when they welcome NAC Breda to the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday in round 15 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season.

Meanwhile, the away side make the trip this weekend in search of consecutive victories for the first time since October having recently returned to winning ways.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 NAC Breda

Sparta have been a tad unlucky in recent matches and will have every reason to believe they can come out on top here.

We are expecting a cagey affair with limited chances at both ends and a win for the home side come the end of the 90 minutes.

RKC Waalwijk vs. Feyenoord (Saturday, 7.00pm)

Two sides with contrasting Eredivisie ambitions will meet this weekend when RKC Waalwijk play host to Feyenoord at Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday evening.

The hosts enter gameweek 15 of the season second-bottom in the league standings with six points, while the visitors are in fourth place with 29 points over the same period.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-2 Feyenoord

The short turnaround time from midweek seemed to affect Feyenoord in last weekend's match when they dropped points at home, but having had a full week to recover for this match, we feel they will be able to return to winning ways.

Heracles vs. Sittard (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Heracles will be looking to open up some daylight between themselves and the drop zone in the Eredivisie when they take on Fortuna Sittard at Asito Stadion on Saturday night.

After 14 games, the hosts are currently on 13 points, seven clear of second-bottom RKC Waalwijk but only two above Sparta Rotterdam in the relegation playoff spot.

We say: Heracles 1-1 Fortuna Sittard

While Heracles have been far from impressive this season, they have been a tough team to beat when playing at home, with their only two defeats at Asito Stadion this term coming against Ajax and PSV.

Fortuna Sittard have failed to win any of their last six away games, losing three and drawing three, and we feel they will have to settle for a share of the spoils in the one.
