Heracles Almelo will travel to Arnhem to meet Vitesse after their 0-1 win over RKC Waalwijk last week. Vitesse lost their last game 4-0 on the road to NAC Breda and also lost defender Van der Struijk (def) with a red card so the team will be slightly weakened at the back. A low scoring affair may be on the cards and the draw seems the way to go here.
Vitesse and Heracles Almelo to draw $3.40 (2/10) (General)
NAC Breda will host bottom dweller RKC Waalwijk on Saturday and everything points to the home win. RKC Waalwijk lost their last game 0-1 at home to Heracles Almelo and also lost De Ceulaer (att) with his second red card of the season. NAC Breda booked a very convincing 4-0 home win over Vitesse so anything else than a home win would be a surprise. Unfortunately, the odds are accordingly and taking a mid-table team at odds around 1.35 to win….I don't know….
The game of the weekend between
Ajax and AZ and much can be said about this one. Ajax is the team in form, AZ is suffering from the bankruptcy of the DSB Bank, but in the end games like this are just hard to predict. Ajax should be able to book an easy win here and with De Zeeuw (mid) playing against his former team her might want to show off a little, so getting on him to be booked might not be a bad idea.
De Zeeuw (mid) to be booked $3.20 (2/10) (Unibet)
FC Twente are coming back from a 2-0 defeat against FC Sheriff last Thursday and now there are available at 1.44 to win at home against FC Groningen. True, FC Groningen are not in the best of form but at these circumstances it will be hard to take on FC Twente at these prices. I will leave this game well alone…..
Willem II will host SC Heerenveen and to be honest this game can go either way. If you want to go for value, take the draw. If you are looking for a likely winner….stay away!
NEC and PSV will have the honor to finish the weekend and PSV should have too much for NEC on Sunday. Last weekend they played a very good game against SC Heerenveen while during the midweek a 1-0 win was recorded in the Europe League over FC Copenhagen. Odds can be found around 1.60 but at these prices I am not tempted to go in.
