Best Eredivisie Matches of Matchday 34

In this article, we preview some of the most interesting matches in the Dutch Eredivisie. FC Twente are fighting for third place and must win away at PSV Eindhoven. Will the Tukkers take the victory? If so, they will play in the Champions League qualifying rounds next season.

Meanwhile, NEC Nijmegen and Ajax must win to still have a chance of claiming that coveted third spot. NEC Nijmegen play at home against Go Ahead Eagles, while Ajax face a tough afternoon at the Abe Lenstra Stadion against SC Heerenveen.

At the bottom of the table, there’s a lot at stake in the clash between FC Volendam and SC Telstar. The visitors need just one point to secure 15th place and safety. FC Volendam, on the other hand, must win at the Kras Stadion to avoid the relegation play-offs.

Eredivisie matchday 34 schedule

PSV vs FC Twente prediction

With first and second place already decided, all eyes are on the battle for third. FC Twente have the best cards in their hands, as reaching third place is entirely up to them. After an excellent second half of the season and poor performances from their rivals, John van den Brom’s side have a great chance of securing Champions League football. The only downside is that they must win away against the Dutch champions — especially with NEC expected to beat Go Ahead Eagles.

PSV have been champions for nearly a month now, and there’s no sign they are taking their foot off the gas. Since winning the title, they have hammered teams like PEC Zwolle and Go Ahead Eagles and drew with Ajax, while also beating Sparta.

Several players heading to the World Cup, including Ivan Perisic and Ricardo Pepi, appear keen to maintain their form. Not coincidentally, both were among the goalscorers in the 4-1 win against Go Ahead Eagles. Will they show their best side again in their final home match of the season? Here’s our PSV vs FC Twente betting tip.

PSV vs FC Twente Betting Tip: PSV Win with 3-Way Handicap (-1)

We have full confidence in a comfortable PSV victory. Firstly, because they are the best team in the Netherlands and aren’t easing off after winning the title. Secondly, PSV have won by a two-goal margin in six of the last seven meetings with FC Twente.

PSV -1 (3-way handicap) is available at odds of 3.30.

SC Heerenveen vs Ajax Prediction

For Ajax, the objective in their away match against SC Heerenveen is clear: they must win to have any chance of avoiding the European play-offs. We say “any chance” because the Amsterdam side are fully dependent on results from NEC Nijmegen and FC Twente. If those two teams win, Ajax will be fighting for a place in the UEFA Conference League. Even if that feels underwhelming, a club like Ajax belongs in Europe.

SC Heerenveen are a very difficult opponent. The Frisians sit in a solid eighth place and are preparing for the play-offs. After a shaky start to the season, Robin Veldman’s team have been playing excellent football and picking up points consistently. However, they will travel to Ajax with a bitter taste after losing 0-2 to already-relegated NAC Breda last weekend. Can they bounce back and push Ajax into the play-offs?

SC Heerenveen vs Ajax Betting Tip: Double Chance 1X for SC Heerenveen

We believe a club like Ajax belongs in Europe, but their performances this season have often fallen short. Last weekend against FC Utrecht, they lacked urgency and conceded in stoppage time. We think confidence is low in the capital, and we expect at least a point for SC Heerenveen.

Double Chance 1X (Heerenveen) is available at odds of 1.75.

NEC Nijmegen vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction

We’re also keeping a close eye on NEC Nijmegen vs Go Ahead Eagles. The visitors have nothing left to play for and sit in 12th place — a disappointing finish compared to last season. Their Europa League campaign (thanks to winning the cup the previous year) clearly took its toll.

Will they end the season on a high, or is their mind already on holiday? NEC Nijmegen have been one of the most entertaining teams in the Netherlands this year with their attacking style and spectacular matches. However, they still haven’t secured anything and could end up in the European play-offs. One thing is clear: a win guarantees European football. That sounds simple, but NEC have failed to win any of their last five official matches. Will the Goffert be rocking on Sunday? Here’s our tip.

NEC Nijmegen vs Go Ahead Eagles Betting Tip: Over 3.5 Goals

We’re really looking forward to NEC’s final match of the 2025/2026 season. Dutch football fans have been treated to some fantastic games from this NEC side. When it comes to goals in NEC matches, we’ve rarely been disappointed. We expect at least four goals here. With 63 goals scored in 16 home games, we’re confident.

Over 3.5 Goals is available at odds of 1.84.

FC Volendam vs SC Telstar Prediction

Finally, we turn our attention to the battle for 16th place. FC Volendam sit on 32 points from 33 matches in 16th place, two points behind SC Telstar in 15th. The two sides face each other on Sunday afternoon — the competition planner deserves a big compliment for that.

If FC Volendam win, they stay in the Eredivisie next season. If SC Telstar pick up at least one point, they are safe. In short: a proper relegation six-pointer. Here’s our betting tip.

FC Volendam vs SC Telstar Betting Tip: Over 1.5 Goals – FC Volendam

It’s very difficult to predict who will come out on top. What stands out, however, is that FC Volendam score easily against SC Telstar. In the last seven head-to-head meetings, Rick Kruys’ side scored at least two goals. We think an eighth time is coming!

This is available at odds of 2.00. Not bad at all!
