Friday, 5th March
FC Emmen v Sparta Rotterdam
Emmen’s first two wins of the season coming back-to-back reminds me of the British saying, ‘You wait a long time for a bus, and then two come at once’. They just seem to have stepped up their level of performance all over the pitch and the new signings from January are now having an impact. I think Sparta are there for the taking and three wins in a row is definitely possible. 1-0 Tip: Emmen double chance.
Saturday, 6th March
Feyenoord v VVV-Venlo – LIVE on Premier Sports 2
It’s been a really poor two weeks for Feyenoord, losing to Heerenveen in the cup, drawing with Twente and Groningen, then a defeat to AZ. They’ll bounce back against VVV, but it won’t be entertaining. The Venlo side have really struggled against the top seven this season, managing only a draw and losing on all other occasions so far this campaign in league and cup. 3-0 Tip: Feyenoord Asian handicap -1.5.
FC Twente v Willem II
After struggling for goals, Twente have got some confidence back, scoring six times in their last three. Willem II will really feel the difference following their win over Sparta last weekend, which makes this game really tough to predict. This season, the Tilburgers have been rolled over too easily, but the team have proven just recently that they’re ready to fight for survival again. 1-1 Tip: Under 3.5 goals.
Heerenveen v ADO Den Haag
Heerenveen have too many central midfielders squeezed into their side at the moment. I said before they were useful quality players to have, but it does make them a little narrow for games like this one which they’re expected to win. Despite a few of their January additions, ADO don’t seem greatly improved, and there’s so few goals in the side. 2-0 Tip: Home win.
RKC Waalwijk v FC Utrecht
Utrecht were on a great run until they lost to Emmen last time out, whilst RKC are five unbeaten. This is difficult to call. I think this is an opportunity for Utrecht to get back to winning ways. RKC are looking to build upon three successive clean sheets, but I don’t think they’ll test the Utrecht back-line enough. 0-1 Tip: Under 2.5 goals.
Sunday, 7th March
Ajax v FC Groningen – Delayed airing on Premier Sports 2
Groningen are still solid yet unspectacular. They have some nice talents coming through into the first team, underpinned by some vastly experienced defensive players. Now they’re very much part of a top six, and you have to say they’re often overlooked. Ajax have a tough game here, which the odds don’t suggest. Still, Ajax haven’t lost this year, but it was certainly close in their last-minute draw with PSV last weekend. There’s a lot of positives for Ajax right now; however, I’m going to back a long-shot Groningen result. 1-1 Tip: Groningen double chance.
Fortuna Sittard v PSV – Delayed airing on Premier Sports 2
I’ve been so impressed with Fortuna. I think they have a really good chance of an upset here. PSV are arguably the most interesting Dutch club to keep an eye on at the moment with the unrest surrounding Roger Schmidt and Mohammed Ihattaren. Schmidt has to be careful the way he is strictly handling a 19-year-old. The experienced players in the camp must be feeling the same way for Ihattaren to be excluded from the squad altogether. I don’t think PSV are going to turn up and win comfortably, but I have a gut feeling PSV will win narrowly. 1-2 Tip: Over 2.5 goals.
Heracles Almelo v PEC Zwolle
I watched Heracles play last weekend and thought they were a team that would comfortably be mid-table this season. Before PEC Zwolle’s shock 4-1 win over Heerenveen, this had home win written all over it – now I’m not so sure. I’ll go with a draw, which will be a good way for Zwolle to consolidate and avoid fears of slipping towards the relegation zone. 1-1 Tip: Under 3.5 goals.
Vitesse Arnhem v AZ Alkmaar
Fourth versus third finishes off this round of fixtures. Vitesse can now start thinking of the cup final for their route into Europe. AZ know a win here is important to consolidate third spot (which gives qualification to the Europa Conference League) and chase PSV down for the second Champions League ticket. The key battle will be whether AZ again employ a higher line in midfield to combat what Vitesse have to offer, which is what worked so well against them in December. AZ will have lots of the ball, and I don’t think Vitesse can do much damage on the counter attack. 1-2 Tip: Over 2.5 goals.

Dutch League Winners Market
Now we you should have a good idea of where you can bet on Dutch Football check out some tactics finding the league winner.
If any league has punched above its weight in European competition over the last few decades, then it is the Dutch League (Eredivisie). Although not as strong as it once was, it still boasts a large number of players blessed with a massive amount of skill and as such the competition for the top spot is fierce. It used to be the case that Ajax were the kings of the Eredivisie, winning every championship they entered, but now there are a number of different teams all capable of winning the league.
Most people think that this increase in competition is a good thing and it certainly makes for some exciting bets. Alongside Ajax, FC Twente, Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar are all teams that have the players and experience to make the title their own.
It is never easy to predict the team that is going to win at the start of the season though, so it is always prudent to wait for a few weeks after the season starts, just so you can evaluate the way each team is performing.
Dutch League Relegation Betting
Dutch Betting Football Odds
The Dutch League is very much divided into two parts – the haves and the have nots.
This means that there are certain teams almost guaranteed to be in the Eredivisie for the foreseeable future, while the other 10 or so teams face the threat of relegation every single year. The fact that there are about 10 teams that could possibly go down makes the process of working out who will get relegated a tough one, although there is the possibility of three teams being relegated each season, which makes it easier to pick the relegation candidates than the winner of the league at least.
You’ll find the odds tight on relegation markets at the start of the season.
The previous paragraph mentioned that there is only the possibility of three teams being relegated, and this is because only the bottom team automatically gets relegated to the lower tier.
The teams finishing in 16th and 17th places are entered into a play-off against the 2nd and 3rd placed teams from the lower league and if they lose, they are also relegated and are replaced by the team that beat them. This playoff situation, although loathed by many Dutch football fans, ensures that those with bets on teams finishing in 16th and 17th to go down will have an exciting – and potentially profitable – end to the season.
Dutch Betting Formula
Dutch League European Qualification
Although it has a great pedigree in European football, the Dutch League is only given two places in the Champions League, which obviously go to the teams finishing in 1st and 2nd place in the league.
With the fact that there are five different teams usually squabbling for these two places, the competition is fierce and any combination of results could happen. This does mean that there are good odds on the different clubs and it often goes down to the wire meaning plenty of chances to back and lay your bets against one another.
The Dutch also receive three places in the Europa League, although one of these is given to the cup winner. The team finishing in 3rd place in the league gets automatic qualification and, rather strangely, the teams finishing in 4th to 7th position go into a play-off for the remaining spot. This makes qualification for the Europa League an almost random event and many people instead choose to bet on Champions League qualification instead, as it is much simpler to understand.
