Sunday's Eredivisie predictions including Ajax vs. Heerenveen

sportsmole.co.uk, 11 August 2024, 05:05

Sparta vs. Heracles (Sunday, 11.15am)

Sparta Rotterdam will get their Eredivisie campaign underway when they welcome Heracles to Sparta Stadion on Sunday.

The hosts are competing in the top flight for a sixth consecutive campaign, while the visitors are featuring in the Eredivisie for the second straight season.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 Heracles

Sparta have failed to win their last four competitive home games against Heracles, but they have seen three of those matches finish all square, and we think that they could play out another draw in Sunday's league opener.

Utrecht vs. PEC Zwolle (Sunday, 1.30pm)

FC Utrecht and PEC Zwolle will get their Eredivisie campaigns underway when they face off in Sunday's clash at Stadion Galgenwaard.

The hosts finished in seventh place in the top flight last term, while Zwolle ended the 2023-24 campaign in 12th position.

We say: FC Utrecht 3-1 PEC Zwolle

Utrecht have won eight of their previous nine competitive home games against Zwolle, and we think they will draw inspiration from that record to kick off the new Eredivisie campaign with a victory.

Go Ahead Eagles vs. Sittard (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Go Ahead Eagles will kick off the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign when they welcome Fortuna Sittard to De Adelaarshorst on Sunday.

The home side finished the 2023-24 season in ninth place, while Fortuna Sittard were eight points further back in 10th position.

We say: Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 Fortuna Sittard

Go Ahead Eagles have won three of their last four meetings with Fortuna Sittard, and we think they will draw confidence from that recent record to get their campaign up and running with a win in Sunday's Eredivisie opener.

Ajax vs. Heerenveen (Sunday, 3.45pm)

Dutch giants Ajax will get their Eredivisie campaign up and running when they face Heerenveen in Sunday's clash at the Amsterdam Arena.

Ajax will hope to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 season, while the visitors will be looking to improve upon last term's 11th-place finish.

We say: Ajax 2-0 Heerenveen

Van Persie will be keen to make a positive start in his first competitive game as a manager in professional football, but we think the ex-Man United man will see his team outclassed by an Ajax side who will be determined to begin their league campaign with a win following last season's sluggish start.
