Eredivisie – Presentation and Predictions

On this page, you'll find all the Eredivisie predictions from our experts here at SportyTrader. The Eredivisie is the Netherlands’ top-flight professional football league, in which the country's best 18 clubs compete each season to crown the Dutch champion.

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 2025-26 Eredivisie Season!

After Ajax had won three titles in a row, Feyenoord ended that run three years ago by dominating the league. In the last two seasons, however, it has been PSV Eindhoven who have dominated proceedings.

This year, unsurprisingly, these three clubs are once again at the top of the bookmakers' odds, with fairly similar figures. Leading the way, of course, are the reigning champions, closely followed by their pursuers.

While Ajax have fallen on hard times with a financial crisis, they came very close to winning the title but squandered a huge lead by falling apart in the closing stages. Once again this year, we don't see the club from the Dutch capital lifting the trophy, and we give a clear advantage to the two-time defending champions. Our current favourites are PSV Eindhoven. Our Eredivisie 2025-2026 prediction: PSV Dutch champions!

Who will be relegated from the Eredivisie?

There is likely to be quite a fight at the bottom of the Eredivisie table this season. The three promoted teams will obviously be fighting hard to stay in the top flight, while other clubs who were already struggling last season are likely to join the race. So, in our opinion, the teams fighting for survival this season should be : Volendam, Excelsior, Telstar, NAC Breda and Heracles.

These teams have a long and difficult journey ahead of them and, barring any major surprises, as is often the case, we expect at least two of the promoted teams to make the jump. As for the last place, NAC Breda, who fought hard to stay up last season, are likely to struggle again. Our prediction for the bottom three in the Eredivisie: Excelsior, Telstar and NAC Breda!

2025-26 Eredivisie - odds on the relegation favourites

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 second qualifying round of 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 2025-26 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
• Taking into account different playing styles in the Netherlands
• Vary the types of bets on the Dutch league
• Understand the real stakes of the match you are betting on
• Compare the odds before making your Eredivisie prediction

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

Firstly, it's imperative to look at the form of the key players involved in the match you're going to bet on. In a league like the Eredivisie (and this also applies to many football predictions), certain key players are indispensable to their team and are difficult to replace. This is the case, for example, with a striker who scores three quarters of his team's goals. If this player is suspended or injured, it will be much harder for his club to worry their opponents.

For example, if you want to bet on Ajax v PSV, and PSV's three most influential players are absent, the odds on Ajax winning might be smarter to play than if all three strong men had been on the pitch in Amsterdam. The same reasoning applies to all clubs in the league, and even more so when two mid-table sides meet.

Taking into account different playing styles in the Netherlands

The second best way to predict the Eredivisie is to take into account the styles of play, which can vary greatly from one team to the next. Between the top Dutch teams like Ajax and Feyenoord, and the lesser-known teams like Fortuna Sittard and Heerenveen, the attacking and defending styles are clearly not identical, and this will inevitably play a part in the matches you can expect to see. 

If you are a fan of sports betting on the number of goals, handicaps or anything else, make sure you analyse the different ways of playing in depth. It would be a shame to lose your Eredivisie bet for lack of knowledge of Dutch teams.

Vary the types of bets on the Dutch league

Another important reflex to have in sports betting, but one that many punters do not have: vary the types of bets. This tip is particularly valid for the Eredivisie, where the differences between the teams can be significant. You'll see a little further down this page, but this league is one of those where handicap bets and over bets are the most validated.

Instead of concentrating solely on the ‘Result of the match’ bet, don't hesitate to alternate and try bets on the number of goals, handicaps, or even the goal for both teams. You could be in for some nice surprises.

Understand the real stakes of the match you are betting on

After that, it is very important to understand what is really at stake in the match you are betting on. For example, a bet like ‘Over 2.5 goals’ (+2.5 goals in the match) will have less chance of winning in a match at the bottom of the table than in a match between two top teams in the Eredivisie. That goes without saying.

By the same token, unless the odds are extremely high, you should avoid betting on a team that has nothing left to play for at the end of the season, especially if the opponent has a lot at stake. For example, it would be risky to bet on the league leaders to win on the final matchday, when they are guaranteed the title and have odds of 1.10 to win, against a team that only needs a point to ensure their survival.

Compare the odds before making your Eredivisie prediction

Finally, you should also compare the odds before making your Eredivisie prediction. As you know, every week many sports betting sites offer different odds for the same bets on the same match. Whether you want to bet on Ajax, Alkmaar, PSV or Feyenoord, you will find variations in the odds that will have a direct influence on your potential winnings.

For example, on a match like PSV vs Feyenoord, Winamax may offer Eindhoven success at 1.90, while PMU will only offer it at 1.85. This may seem insignificant at the time, but believe our sports betting specialists, by the end of the year the difference can reach non-negligible proportions. So don't put this aspect aside when thinking about your Eredivisie predictions.

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: 

• Betting on a Dutch favourite at low odds in a match with nothing at stake
• Not analysing the Eredivisie match before placing a bet
• Place your bets on a team with a string of important matches
• Betting on the Dutch championship on a whim
• Live betting without watching the match or taking into account Eredivisie statistics
• Place a bet on a team with a lot of injured players

As you can see, these pitfalls should be avoided at all costs when placing bets on the 2025-2026 Eredivise season. Once you get into the habit of avoiding these mistakes, you'll see that the quality of your bets will improve dramatically. Here's what the experts have to say.

• Home wins percentage: 45%
• Draws percentage: 25%
• Away win percentage: 32%
• Average goals:  3.24 per game
• +0.5 goals: 96%
• -0.5 goals: 4%
• +1.5 goals: 81%
• -1.5 goals: 19%
• +2.5 goals: 56%

• Correct score 1-1: 12.9% of matches
• Most frequent score: 1-0 or 0-1 (13.9% of games)

We mentioned it earlier, but with its superb average of goals scored per game last season, the competition is undoubtedly one of the most attractive in Europe. So don't forget to bet on the goals in 2025-2026, as the nets are likely to be shaking plenty more times.

It should also be noted that closed matches are rare in the Eredivisie, so Over bets will obviously be preferable in this league, as will the ‘both teams to score’ bet.

This league is also very uneven, with a difference of 2 goals or more between the teams in just over 4 out of 10 matches!

Finally, the Eredivisie is one of the European competitions where home advantage is important. In fact, last season, less than 3 out of 10 games ended with an away win.

So keep this in mind before placing your bets on the Eredivisie 2025-2026.
