Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including Willem II vs. Ajax

NEC vs. RKC Waalwijk (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Aiming to avoid a third straight Eredivisie defeat, RKC Waalwijk make the journey to Stadion de Goffert on Saturday to square off against NEC.

Meanwhile, the home side go in search of back to back league wins for the first time since the turn of the year having ended a four-game winless streak last time out.

We say: NEC 1-0 RKC Waalwijk

Buoyed by last week's triumph, NEC will head into this one brimming with confidence as they prepare for the visit of a Waalwijk side who have not fared well on their travels so far. We fancy the home side to emerge victorious, albeit by only a narrow margin.

High-flying Ajax set out to record a 10th victory on the bounce when they square up to the challenge of Willem II at the Konig Willem II Stadion on Saturday.

On the other hand, the home side are in urgent need of a pick-me-up having suffered defeat in 11 of their last 12 league outings either side of the new year.

We say: Willem II 0-4 Ajax

Ajax have been imperious in front of goal, and Willem II will need to be at their absolute best to stand any chance of keeping the defending champions at bay. We fancy the visitors to cruise to a comfortable victory at the end of the 90 minutes.

Seeking to stretch their 17-game unbeaten run, AZ Alkmaar welcome Heracles to the AFAS Stadion on Saturday in round 23 of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season.

Heracles, on the other hand, are aiming to record consecutive league wins for the first time since October and exact revenge for a 4-1 defeat in the reverse fixture.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-0 Heracles

Judging by recent results, AZ are nailed on favourites to come out on top this weekend, and we expect them to live up to expectations in what should be a routine victory for the home side.
