Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including Ajax vs. AZ Alkmaar

---

Sparta vs. PSV (Saturday, 5.45pm)

KNVB Beker champions PSV Eindhoven return to Eredivisie action this Saturday, when they travel to Het Kasteel to face Sparta Rotterdam.

On top of their cup success, PSV are now also favourites to join Feyenoord as the Dutch representatives in next season's Champions League.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-3 PSV Eindhoven

Sparta's only remaining objective will be to try to chase down AZ in fourth, but they would likely need to win all of their remaining games to even have a chance, and PSV are a frightening prospect to face right now.

With the confidence running through the side following two massive victories over Ajax, PSV are expected to keep their excellent late-season form going here.

Nijmegen vs. Heerenveen (Saturday, 7.00pm)

NEC Nijmegen and SC Heerenveen are neck-and-neck in the Eredivisie table heading into gameweek 31's encounter at Stadion de Goffert on Saturday.

Both clubs — jointly on 38 points — still have an outside chance of making the European qualification playoffs but must have a near-perfect finish to the campaign to give themselves a chance.

We say: NEC 1-2 Heerenveen

Heerenveen have been let down by their home form this season, but the Super Frisians' results on their travels is the seven-best in the Eredivisie.

NEC have conceded a goal in 13 of their 15 fixtures at Stadion de Goffert, and a run that has seen them claim one win in their last six home games is likely to extend to a sole victory in seven on Saturday.

Cambuur vs. Utrecht (Saturday, 7.00pm)

Cambuur are bottom in the Eredivisie table heading into Saturday's gameweek 31 clash with FC Utrecht at the Cambuurstadion.

Both sides lost their last league encounters, with the hosts losing at Volendam and Utreg unable to prevent a 3-1 defeat against title-chasing Feyenoord.

We say: Cambuur 1-2 FC Utrecht

Cambuur have averaged less than a goal on their turf all season, conceding two goals a game in 15 matches at the Cambuurstadion.

Utrecht's proclivity to find the back of the net on their travels puts them in good stead to return to winning ways against poor opposition.

Ajax vs. AZ (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Ajax host AZ Alkmaar at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Saturday in a potentially pivotal game for both sides.

The two clubs are still chasing the final Champions League spot in the Eredivisie and will need a win to stay in touch.

We say: Ajax 3-1 AZ Alkmaar

Ajax will be determined to catch PSV again after a harrowing week at the hands of their rivals and could capitalise on AZ's eye potentially being elsewhere.

Jansen's job to keep his side's focus firmly on this game and not West Ham will be important, but going to Amsterdam is often a tough task at the best of times, and injuries may scupper their chances.
