Saturday's Eredivisie predictions including PSV Eindhoven vs. AZ Alkmaar

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Eredivisie fixtures, including PSV Eindhoven vs. AZ Alkmaar.

Sparta Rotterdam and Heracles meet at Het Kasteel for an Eredivisie clash on Saturday afternoon.

Both enter the fixture on the back of superb midweek wins that boosted the likelihood of them hitting their respective objectives this season.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Heracles


A win in midweek for Heracles moved them a comfortable distance away from trouble, but it will be difficult to follow that up here, especially given their woeful away form.

Sparta will be fully expecting to beat a side who have just eight away points this term, and that will see them reclaim a top-eight spot before Utrecht play on Sunday.

PSV vs. AZ (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven face up against fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar at the Philips Stadion on Saturday evening in one of the standout games of matchday 29 in the Eredivisie.

The hosts are 10 points clear at the top of the table, while the visitors are in fourth place with their sights set on catching FC Twente in the Champions League qualification spot.

We say: PSV Eindhoven 3-1 AZ Alkmaar


PSV will be full of confidence coming into this game having had such an excellent season, while AZ are sure to be in short supply having suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat in their last outing, leading us to believe the league leaders will win this one.

The two top scorers in the division are set to come face to face in this one, and we expect both to get on the scoresheet here.

Two relegation-threatened sides do battle on Saturday evening when PEC Zwolle host SBV Excelsior at the MAC³PARK Stadion in the Eredivisie.

The hosts are 14th and six points clear of the visitors, who occupy the relegation playoff spot, but they are just a point from safety.

We say: PEC Zwolle 1-1 SBV Excelsior


Both teams have been struggling for form in recent weeks, both entering into this game without victory for a stretch of matches, and we expect them to extend their search for victory with a draw here.

FC Twente vs. Sittard (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Two sides with ambitions of European football come together on Saturday night when Champions League-hunting FC Twente host Fortuna Sittard, who are aiming to move into the top eight.

The hosts are third in the Eredivisie table, five points above AZ Alkmaar, while the visitors are in 10th and just four points behind eighth-placed FC Utrecht, who occupy the final Europa Conference League qualification playoff place.

We say: FC Twente 3-1 Fortuna Sittard


The home side have won all of the last three encounters between these two sides by 3-0 scorelines, and with them scoring an impressive 53 times in 28 games this season, we expect them to win this one with plenty of goals.

Sittard's top scorer Sierhuis is in fantastic form ahead of this one, and we expect him to continue that with yet another goal here, albeit in a losing effort.
