Eredivisie Betting: PSV to maintain their 100% record in Zwolle

PSV's in-form striker Memphis Depay

After the international break, Sky Sports offers a Dutch double of Eredivisie games via the red button feature and Will Burns adds a third potential punt to try and gain some profit this upcoming Saturday...

Manager-less Heracles travel to Amsterdam to face Frank de Boer's defending champions Ajax, who suffered consecutive defeats against PSV and FC Groningen before the international break.

The Amsterdammers will be looking to get back to winning ways to keep in touch with the surging PSV at the top of the Eredivisie. Playing Heracles, bottom of the barrel after four losses in four, this gives Ajax the ideal opportunity to bounce back, even though they lost a major cog in the Ajacied wheel in Daley Blind before deadline day.

De Boer replaced the new Manchester United midfielder with experienced Danish holding-man Niki Zimling, who arrived from Bundesliga side Mainz 05. The 29-year old could debut and should find it easy going against the Almelo opposition.

Heracles chairman Jan Smit sacked head coach Jan de Jonge after a 3-1 away loss to newly promoted Excelsior and has yet to name a permanent replacement. Assistants Rene Kolmschot and John Steedman take co-charge for this game and I cannot see the duo leaving the Amsterdam ArenA with smiles on their faces.

After losing eight of their last nine league games, and conceding at least three in their last three trips, look for Heracles to lose heavily here with Ajax rebounding to three points in style. Ajax to win and keep a clean sheet is valued at 2.35/4 on Betfair's Sportsbook and I see that as our recommended bet.

PEC Zwolle v PSV
Saturday, 19:45
Live on Sky Sports 5 via the red button

The in-form PSV look to win their fifth game in a row, to keep the only 100% record in the Eredivisie alive, as they take the trip north to face Ron Jans' PEC Zwolle.

Zwolle themselves were on a streak with the first three wins of the campaign before crashing out of Europe to Sparta Prague, 3-1 on the Thursday before being easily dispatched by the same scoreline to relegation contenders NAC Breda the following Sunday. Zwolle will face the tough task of finding points against the Eindhoven side, especially when Jans will be without the duties of inspirational playmaker Mustafa Saymak, with the Turkish-born midfielder out with a calf muscle pull.

Philip Cocu will have an almost strong squad to oppose De Blauwvingers and have enough firepower in Luciano Narsingh and 'man-of-the-moment' Memphis Depay to blow Zwolle away.

Depay, scorer of five goals in four league games so far, will look to add to his tally after a disappointing performance in midweek for his country. In Guus Hiddink's first competitive game in charge of his second spell for the Oranje, Depay started in a 2-1 defeat to Czech Republic in a Euro 2016 qualifier.

After a 3-1 win over Ajax in their last game on the road, expect a PSV win to keep their flawless 2014/15 campaign going.

FC Twente v Go Ahead Eagles
Saturday, 17:30

With a squad boasting some of the greatest young talent in the league, Alfred Schreuder will be disappointed that his Twente side have picked up four draws in all four Eredivisie games to date.

After the big money sale of last year's player of the season, Duan Tadi to Southampton, Schreuder spent well expanding his squad. Workhorse midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo arrived from Zwolle while tricky 'number 10' Hakim Ziyech was recruited from Heerenveen. Highly-rated Danish winger Kasper Kusk joined from Aalborg and Arsenal loaned Japanese winger Ryo Miyachi to Enschede.

Miyachi could make his debut and help Twente find those first three points of the season but I fear for the hosts' defence. Schreuder's men have conceded four in four and apart from the great goalkeeping of young starlet Nick Marsman, it could have been a lot worse.

Despite awful away form of only one win in the last 11 away trips, Go Ahead are well capable of notching, scoring five goals in the last four games, however they have conceded six on the way.

Perhaps Twente could finally find that win with but I fancy the Eagles of Deventer to discover a way past Marsman this time. Both teams to score is a great price at around evens, and that is a price too good to ignore.
