Eredivisie – Presentation and Predictions

Long considered a good league but still second-rate when compared to the likes of the Premier League, Serie A and LaLiga, the Eredivisie has evolved in recent years to become one of the most interesting leagues to follow.
Every weekend, more and more bets are placed on the Eredivisie, and the odds on online sports betting sites are well worth a look. Want to give it a try? Read the tips from our Eredivisie specialists!

Our Free Prediction for the 2024-25 Eredivisie Season!
After Ajax Amsterdam had won three titles in a row, Feyenoord ended their streak two years ago by dominating the championship. And last year, PSV Eindhoven were able to return to the top after a dominant performance of their own.
This year, these three clubs are once again at the top of the bookmakers' odds list, with fairly similar figures. Leading the way, of course, are the defending champions PSV, closely followed by 36-time league winners Ajax.
With Ajax going through a difficult period financially speaking, it's hard to see the club competing over the course of the entire season. That leaves us with a duel between the last two league champions. For the moment, we're giving PSV Eindhoven the slight edge. Our prediction is as follows: PSV Eredivisie 2024-25 champions!

Who Will Be Relegated from the Eredivisie?
Promoted teams will certainly fight hard to stay in the top flight, while other clubs already struggling last season are likely to join the race. The teams fighting for survival this season could be: RKC Waalwijk, Almere, Heracles, Willem II and Groningen.
A long and difficult journey lies ahead for these teams and, barring any major surprises, we expect the two promoted teams to make the grade. Waalwijk, who managed to hold on to their top-flight status last year, are our pick for last place. Our prediction for the last three in the Eredivisie: RKC Waalwijk, Groningen and Willem II!

Beginners Guide to How the Eredivisie Works
As a reminder, the Eredivisie championship is made up of 18 teams, as in the Bundesliga or the Belgian Pro League, as well as the newly-formatted Ligue 1. Considered a very good competition in Europe after the main top 5 leagues, the Eredivisie sees its champion and runner-up qualify for the league phase of the Champions League, while the 3rd-placed team earns a ticket to the third qualifying round.
The 4th-placed team advances to the second qualifying round of the Europa League. Behind them, clubs in 5th to 8th place play off for a place in the Conference League. At the bottom of the pack, the clubs finishing in the last two places are relegated to the Eerste Divisie (Dutch second division), while the 16th-placed club enters a relegation play-off.
At the end of the 34 matchdays, here are the places that influence the future of the clubs:
- Eredivisie leader and runner-up qualify for the Champions League
- 3rd in the league qualifies for the Champions League
- 4th-place reaches the second qualifying round of the Europa League
- Clubs ranked 5th to 8th compete for a place in the Conference League
- Clubs ranked 17th and 18th are relegated to the Eerste Divisie
- The 16th-placed club must play off for relegation.
There are some great opportunities to place bets on the Eredivisie every season, especially with the stakes being so high. So place your bets for the 2024-25 campaign!

How to Make Good Predictions on the Eredivisie?
To make a winning Eredivisie prediction, you first need to have a good knowledge of the league, but you also need to use your betting skills. As a specialist in the Eredivisie for many years, SportyTrader offers you its main and best tips for making the right predictions:
- Check the form of each Eredivisie team
- Take into account the clubs' fixture lists
- Take note of the list of players absent from the Eredivisie
- Look at the psychological context of the Eredivisie match
- Analysis of the latest Eredivisie statistics
These 5 tips for predicting Eredivisie matches are among the most important according to our betting experts, but they are obviously not the only ones. Find out more about each one below!

Consider the form of each Eredivisie team
To make a reliable Eredivisie prediction, the first thing you need to do is check the latest results of the clubs you are predicting. For example, a club like PSV are playing Ajax but have not won in 5 games, while the visitors are on a 9-game unbeaten run. At home, PSV will obviously start as favourites but, in this situation, a reliable prediction might be to try the double chance of a draw or Ajax. An in-form squad will always be preferable for your Eredivisie bets.
To go a little further on this point, we think it's important to remind you of one thing: you shouldn't just look at the scores of recent matches, but also analyse the key statistics. How many goals are a side scoring and conceding? What is their home or away form in recent matches? How many goals have been scored in games? This data is obviously going to help you in making your prediction.
Take into account the clubs' fixture list
The second point we think is important to take into account when making Eredivisie predictions, but also football predictions in general: you need to check each team's fixture list before making a bet. Let's take the example of a clash between NEC and Feyenoord. It's important to note that NEC are not playing in European competition this season, while Feyenoord are in the Champions League. This means NEC won’t have as many games to play as their opponents.
Now let's imagine that Feyenoord have just played Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and will travel to the San Siro next week before playing Ajax in the league. They are likely to rotate their squad so some top players might be left out for the game against NEC. You need to be wary of this when making your prediction on the game.
As you will have gathered, teams' sometimes overcrowded schedules can explain some unexpected results and coaching decisions. If possible, we advise you to wait for the official line-up before placing your bet. This could more than once save you from losing money.

Take a look at the list of players missing in the Eredivisie
Following on from the previous tip, which was to consult the team's line-up or at least the group of players called up, the players absent for a given match or period of time will be important. Whether it's due to injury, suspension, family reasons, being left out of the squad or some other reason, key players are sometimes absent, and this may have a huge impact on their club's results.
Is the captain injured? Is the usual goalkeeper suspended? Check the absences carefully and don't place large bets when making an Eredivisie prediction if you notice any major absences. This could obviously help you avoid some costly losses.
Focus on the psychological context of the Eredivisie match
Focusing on the psychological side of the match you want to bet on is also very important if you want to make a good prediction. A number of factors need to be taken into account in English football: whether or not there is a rivalry between the clubs, the various statements made by players and/or coaches before the match, a tense final encounter or a problem that has arisen, a major issue at stake in the match, etc. There are a huge number of things that can have a mental impact on teams and players, and this factor is certainly not to be overlooked.
If you're a fan of goal predictions, such as "both teams score" or an Over on theEredivisie, for example, you'll need to be wary of high-pressure fixtures (such as a relegation six pointer at the end of the season or a local derby match), which can be less prolific in terms of goals. Look at how important the game is to each club. A team that can’t qualify for Europe but are safe from relegation may begin to experiment with their starting line-up and blood new players. Other scenarios are possible, and it's up to you to analyse them carefully and take them into account. If you don't want to miss out on anything, our expert tipsters obviously do so for each of their Eredivisie match predictions!

Analyse the latest Eredivisie statistics
The fifth and final piece of vital advice is to systematically analyse the statistics for each team in the Eredivisie! In fact, knowing the different stats will help you to place better bets on the matches, and to make expert predictions on the different alternative bets (Under/Over, exact score, match result, half-time with the most goals, goalscorer, etc.).
Has a team seen the "both teams score" prediction in a high percentage of its Eredivisie matches since the start of the season? If so then that stat has a good chance of coming up again in their next fixture. That’s just one of the many examples you can use to analyse the statistics. And don't hesitate to take advantage of the welcome bonuses offered by the best bookmakers on the market if you want to try a few bets.
Before concluding this section on our tips for making good predictions, please note that each of our editors always takes these 5 points and many others into account when making each Eredivisie prediction throughout the season.
As you can see, by simply consulting our Eredivisie match predictions, you can be sure of having the most reliable overall view of the matches. If you haven't already done so, get into the habit of reading our predictions before each Eredivisie match, especially if you're planning to place bets!

What not to do for your Eredivisie predictions
In order to make as many Eredivisie predictions as possible, there are a few things you should avoid doing. Here are the main ones that we strongly advise you to avoid when making a prediction on a Eredivisie match:
- Not analysing the Eredivisie match
- Take into account only a club's prestige and not its form
- Not looking for the odds on offer and missing the most attractive one
- Betting on an Eredivisie match with nothing at stake at the end of the season
- Wanting to make up for losing a bet
- Betting on bookmakers' boosted odds without carrying out an analysis
- Betting repeatedly on your favourite team
All too often, both beginners and more experienced punters get caught out and lose bets and money far too easily by adopting one of these bad habits. This is something to be avoided in the new Eredivisie season!

Eredivisie prediction: statistics you need to know
If you want to make the most of your Eredivisie bets, you'll also need to know the key statistics for the Dutch league. Here are the most important ones to remember for your Eredivisie predictions, all taken from the current 2024-25 season (after matchday 12):
- Home wins percentage: 48%
- Draws percentage: 20%
- Away win percentage: 32%
- Average goals: 2.91 per game
- Over 1.5 goals: 78%
- Over 2.5 goals: 55%
- Over 3.5 goals: 28%
- "Both teams score: yes": 50%
- Average home goals: 1.64
- Average away goals: 1.26
- Goals scored in first half: 43%
- Goals scored in second half: 57%
- Correct score 0-0: 3.7% of matches
- Most frequent score: 1-0 (14% of games)
- Most frequent halftime score: 0-0 (24.3% of games)
It's interesting to note that the beginning of the 2024/25 Eredivisie season has seen goals drop off from the previous campaign. Last year saw an average of 3.24 goals scored per match compared to this year's 2.91 average. Naturally, this has also had an impact on other types of bets, such as the over 2.5 goals market which has taken a hit from 64% down to 55%. Granted, it's still somewhat early so bettors will likely be able to expect some correction as the season rolls on.
