Sunday's Eredivisie predictions including RKC Waalwijk vs. Vitesse

NEC vs. Willem II (Sunday, 11.15am)

Two sides who have turned a corner in recent weeks clash at the Goffertstadion on Sunday as NEC and Willem II face off in round three of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season.

The teams come into the clash off the back of two consecutive victories just before the international break, and both will be brimming with confidence ahead of this one.

We say: NEC 1-1 Willem II

With the sides full of confidence ahead of the clash, we expect an entertaining affair with both teams getting on the scoresheet. We also see the sides being inseparable on the day, giving rise to a share of the spoils in the end.

Groningen vs. Heerenveen (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Looking to bounce back from respective defeats last time out, Groningen and Heerenveen face off at the Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadium on Sunday.

The home side were beaten by 5-2 PSV Eindhoven on August 28, while the visitors fell to a 3-1 loss against AZ Alkmaar the following day.

We say: Groningen 2-1 Heerenveen

As recent meetings suggest, games between Sunday's opponents are usually tight and either side could end up claiming all three points in this one. Groningen failed to pick up a victory in their last game on home turf, but we are tipping them to do so this time around, albeit by the narrowest of margins.

Sparta vs. Sittard (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Sparta Rotterdam welcome Fortuna Sittard to the Het Kasteel on Sunday aiming to avoid a third consecutive defeat of the new Eredivisie season.

Meanwhile, the away side will be looking to return to winning ways following a share of the spoils in their last outing before the international break.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-0 Fortuna Sittard

The visitors head into the contest in better form and will back themselves to pick up a positive result. However, Sparta boast the better record in this fixture, and we are tipping the home team to breathe life into their campaign by claiming all three points in this one.

RKC Waalwijk vs. Vitesse (Sunday, 3.45pm)

RKC Waalwijk and Vitesse draw the curtain on matchday three of the Eredivisie season with their meeting at the Mandemakers Stadion on Sunday.

After opening-day victories for both teams, they have failed to win any of the subsequent two games and will be looking to get their campaign back on track.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-2 Vitesse

Both teams are on a rough patch at the moment and a victory here for either side would be a very welcome result. We are anticipating an open and end-to-end match with the away side just edging their hosts by a narrow margin.
