Sunday's Eredivisie predictions including Fortuna Sittard vs. Ajax

Utrecht vs. Almere City (Sunday, 11.15am)

FC Utrecht play host to Almere City on Sunday looking to strengthen their hold of third place in the Eredivisie table.

In sharp contrast, the visitors are cut adrift at the bottom of the standings and desperately need to achieve something from this game.

We say: FC Utrecht 2-0 Almere City

With Utrecht having posted a succession of draws, they are hardly in the most convincing form heading into this contest. Nevertheless, we still expect them to come through this fixture with a clean sheet and three points.

Sittard vs. Ajax (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Aiming to move to the top of the Eredivisie table, Ajax will travel to the Offermans Joosten Stadion on Sunday to take on Fortuna Sittard.

The visitors have climbed within two points of the summit with a five-match winning streak, while holding a game in hand on leaders PSV Eindhoven.

We say: Fortuna Sittard 0-2 Ajax

With the visitors quickly gaining momentum in their title pursuit and the hosts struggling for form in mid-table, we back Ajax to make their quality count on Sunday and record a sixth straight Eredivisie victory.

RKC Waalwijk vs. NAC Breda (Sunday, 1.30pm)

RKC Waalwijk play host to NAC Breda on Sunday looking to continue their improving form in the Eredivisie.

At a time when the home side still sit in 17th position in the table, the visitors are in the relatively-safe position of ninth place.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-1 NAC Breda

After two mammoth wins, RKC have generated momentum heading into this fixture. Nevertheless, NAC deserve respect for their position in the table, leading us to predict a competitive draw between these teams.

AZ vs. PEC Zwolle (Sunday, 3.45pm)

AZ Alkmaar will welcome PEC Zwolle to the AFAS Stadion on Sunday for a game of importance at both ends of the Eredivisie table.

The hosts currently sit five points outside of the division's top three, while their visitors have built a crucial lead over the relegation zone in recent weeks.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-1 PEC Zwolle

PEC Zwolle's rejuvenation, particularly in attack, could certainly see them cause problems for AZ Alkmaar on Sunday, but we back the hosts to make their superior quality count and take all three points from a tough test.

Heerenveen vs. FC Twente (Sunday, 3.45pm)

Heerenveen and FC Twente draw the curtain on matchday 22 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season with a meeting at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Sunday evening.

Neither team was able to come away with maximum points last time out off the back of respective 2-2 draws, and they will both be keen to go on better this time around.
