Sunday, 28th May

FC Twente v Ajax

Twente’s season is ending on a real high as they go into the Europa Conference League play-offs. Ajax could still finish second, third or fourth depending on their result and what happens between AZ and PSV, so this is a game that they will want to win, but I think they will find it more difficult than the time they beat Twente in Enschede in the Dutch Cup.

1-1

Feyenoord v Vitesse Arnhem

I believe that Feyenoord will end their magnificent season on a high against Vitesse, who have been playing some good stuff since they secured their Eredivisie safety. Goals are common when the stakes are low at the end of the Eredivisie season.

4-2

Fortuna Sittard v NEC Nijmegen

A mid-table clash between two sides who have had relatively disappointing ends to the campaign. I think NEC will finish the stronger because of their better quality players.

1-2

Cambuur v RKC Waalwijk

Let’s see whether relegated Cambuur can end on a high. RKC need to win this game if they are to leapfrog Heerenveen on the final day and qualify for the European play-offs, which is a very different expectation on how RKC usually play their games — normally the pressure isn’t there for the three points. I do think they will manage it, though, in Joseph Oosting’s last game as manager.

0-2

AZ Alkmaar v PSV

Another cracker of a game on the final day. AZ comfortably beat NEC last time out to put behind them the disappointment of a semi-final European exit. Rud van Nistelrooy departed the club in surprising circumstances in mid-week, stating that he didn’t believe he received the full backing of the club. On top of that, PSV will be annoyed with themselves that they couldn’t beat Heerenveen at home which would have secured them second place; instead, they need to get at least a point in a really tough game.

2-1

FC Volendam v Excelsior

These two sides sit relaxed just above the relegation zone, knowing they are both safe. Both teams may need to strengthen over the summer to compete next season, particularly Excelsior. At home, Volendam have been one of the best in 2023.

2-0

FC Groningen v Sparta Rotterdam

Sparta are looking forward to the European play-offs, and I see them picking up yet another win at Groningen, who are in need of a huge rebuild in the Dutch second tier next season.

0-3

Heerenveen v Go Ahead Eagles

Eighth plays tenth as both teams can nip into the last European play-off position. Go Ahead must win to achieve it, and Heerenveen need to at least match RKC’s result at Cambuur to hold on to eighth. I have enjoyed the progression of Go Ahead throughout the season, and whilst they are better at home, I think they will get an away win.

1-2

FC Utrecht v FC Emmen

Emmen are due to go into the relegation play-offs. I think here we will see why they are in big trouble of going down. Despite having Dick Lukkien as manager, I don’t think there’s enough going forward nor a strong enough defensive personnel to keep them up. Anastasios Douvikas is likely to become top goal-scorer if he bags another goal here.

2-0
