Sunday's Eredivisie predictions including AZ Alkmaar vs. Ajax

sportsmole.co.uk, 8 December 2024, 06:25
Groningen vs. PEC Zwolle (Sunday, 11.15am)

Sunday's Eredivisie action will kick off with a crucial bottom-half battle at Euroborg where Groningen will be playing host to PEC Zwolle.

Both these sides are on 15 points after 14 games and have identical records this season, with the visitors only ahead by a better goal difference of one.

We say: Groningen 1-1 PEC Zwolle

These two sides come into this match with the same points tally and identical records this season. The last two competitive matches between them also ended level and we feel there will be nothing to split them on the scoreline in this one either.

AZ vs. Ajax (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Ajax will be aiming to maintain the pressure on the Eredivisie league leaders when they travel to the AFAS Stadion to face off against AZ Alkmaar on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts are currently on 23 points and in sixth place in the league standings after 14 matches, while the visitors have managed 33 points to date and trail PSV by six points.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 1-2 Ajax

Ajax have been in excellent form this season, unbeaten in their last 12 league games dating back to matchday two, and while they did drop points at home last week, we feel they will return to winning ways in this one.

Willem II vs. Heerenveen (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Separated by just one point in the bottom half of the Eredivisie table, Willem II and Heerenveen will do battle in an important contest at the Koning Willem II Stadion.

The visited extended their lead over the relegation playoff place to four points with a draw last Friday, while their hosts have dropped to 11th spot in the midst of a tricky spell.

We say: Willem II 1-0 Heerenveen

Heerenveen's away form is certainly a cause for concern having not yet picked up a point on the road this term, and as a result we back Willem II to make a return to winning ways and begin climbing back up the table on Sunday.

Almere City vs. Utrecht (Sunday, 3.45pm)

FC Utrecht make the trip to Almere City on Sunday afternoon looking to strengthen their bid to finish in the top three of the Eredivisie table.

At a time when the visitors sit seven points adrift of the leaders, the home team remain bottom of the table after a four-game losing streak.

We say: Almere City 1-4 FC Utrecht

Although there is potential for Almere City to cause a surprise against their high-flying opponents, it remains highly unlikely. Utrecht have not lost their scoring touch in recent games, leading us to predict a comfortable triumph over the bottom-placed outfit.
