Sunday's Eredivisie predictions including Almere City vs. Ajax

Heerenveen vs. AZ (Sunday, 11.15am)

Aiming to make it four straight league victories and crack the top three of the Eredivisie table, AZ Alkmaar will travel to the Abe Lenstra Stadion to take on Heerenveen on Sunday.

The visitors only trail third spot on goal difference and progressed to the KNVB Cup final on Thursday, while their hosts sit ninth in the midst of a five-match winless run.

We say: Heerenveen 1-3 AZ Alkmaar

AZ Alkmaar should certainly face a tougher test than their 9-1 win in the reverse fixture, but with momentum on their side against a struggling Heerenveen team on the back of the loss of their manager, we back the visitors to come out on top on Sunday.

Almere City vs. Ajax (Sunday, 1.30pm)

The bottom side in the Eredivisie table will host its leaders on Sunday, as Almere City welcome Ajax to Yanmar Stadion.

The visitors have moved to the summit with eight straight league victories, while their hosts find themselves 10 points adrift of automatic safety.

We say: Almere City 0-2 Ajax

While the hosts have shown more resilience in tough tests in recent weeks and the visitors are hampered by several important injuries, we do not see Almere City halting Ajax's winning run and back Farioli's side to put a ninth straight three-point haul on the board on Sunday.

Heracles vs. PEC Zwolle (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Two teams looking to steer clear of the relegation zone in the Eredivisie table will go head-to-head at the Asito Stadium on Sunday as Heracles and PEC Zwolle face off.

The hosts were emphatically thumped in their last league outing and have some soul-searching to do leading up to this one, while the away side had to make do with a point.

We say: Heracles 1-1 PEC Zwolle

Judging their respective league positions, there is little to choose between the sides, so Sunday's game could easily swing either way.

We are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

Sparta vs. Willem II (Sunday, 3.45pm)

Round 24 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season will come to an end at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday with a meeting between Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II.

Both teams will set out aiming to get themselves back on track, having been on the receiving end of respective defeats in their most recent involvements.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 Willem II

Sparta have gotten the better of this fixture more often than not in recent years and will be confident of coming out on top once again.

We can see the home side emerging victorious, albeit by only a narrow margin.
