Wednesday's Eredivisie predictions including Heerenveen vs. FC Twente

Heracles vs. AZ (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

AZ Alkmaar make the trip to Heracles on Wednesday evening looking for the win that will strengthen their hold of fourth place in the Eredivisie standings.

In sharp contrast, the home side are searching for the victory that would go some way to ensuring that they avoid relegation to the second tier.

We say: Heracles 1-2 AZ Alkmaar

Despite their poor run of form, Heracles have been showing the credentials to get something out of this contest. Nevertheless, AZ are also playing with the belief to edge a tight contest, and we expect that to materialise here.

Utrecht vs. PEC Zwolle (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Aiming to keep their hopes of European football alive, FC Utrecht will welcome midtable dwellers PEC Zwolle to Stadion Galgenwaard on Wednesday night in the Eredivisie.

The Cathedral Citizens suffered a heavy defeat at the home of Feyenoord last time out, while the Blauwvingers were beaten on their own patch by Ajax.

We say: FC Utrecht 2-0 PEC Zwolle

After threatening a shock victory in the opening stages at Feyenoord, Utrecht should be confident of earning maximum points versus an out-of-form Zwolle outfit.

The Blauwvingers are stumbling towards trouble and we feel that Jansen's woes in the PEC hotseat will continue on Wednesday night.

Heerenveen vs. FC Twente (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

FC Twente can move a step closer to guaranteeing European football for next season with victory over Heerenveen on Wednesday night.

At a time when the visitors occupy third position in the Eredivisie standings, the home side are 11th and scraping for a spot in the Europa Conference League playoff.

We say: Heerenveen 1-3 FC Twente

With Heerenveen being one of the division's more unpredictable sides, any result feels possible here. Nevertheless, with Twente having only lost to the leaders in their last five outings, we expect the visitors to come through this contest in style.
