Eredivisie Betting and Odds at NetBet Sport

The Eredivisie is an ever-growing European league and it consistently proves to be a breeding ground for top talent.

And its long-lasting popularity in the footballing world means there are so many Eredivisie betting opportunities. So, here is NetBet’s handy guide to betting on the Dutch top flight.

History of the Eredivisie

The Eredivisie was founded in 1956, with the aim of replacing the old Dutch football league system and bringing together the best clubs in the country into one division. This change put an end to multiple regional leagues, which generated disdain at the time, but is now widely accepted as the optimal way to do things.

Ajax took a stranglehold on the league at the beginning, achieving remarkable success in the late 60s and early 70s under Rinus Michels with players like Johan Cruyff. They won numerous league titles and captured the European Cup three times in a row from 1971 to 1973.

Dutch football is largely respected for its attractive and attacking style of play. The concept of ‘Total Football’ was popularised by Michels and Cruyff, describing the fluid positional play and interchangeability of players' roles.

Ajax rose back to the top in the 90s under cult hero Louis van Gaal, winning the Champions League in 1995. During this time, several Dutch players were considered among the best in the world, such as Dennis Bergkamp, Ruud Gullit, and Marco van Basten.

Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord have been the dominant Eredivisie forces in the 21st century, the trio winning all but two of the titles. AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente are the other title winners since the turn of the millennium.

Eredivisie Betting Tips

When it comes to Eredivisie betting, there are a couple of things you can do to help improve your overall experience.

Research Form: This is pivotal, regardless of which sport or competition you fancy betting on. Analysing form is the only real way you can get an idea of how a team might perform. There is not much use betting on a team that has lost 10 matches in a row. Always research form and take into account results, both at home and on the road.

Focus on Goals: The Eredivisie is known for having high-scoring games, which makes it a good place to target the goals market. For example, in 2022/23, the champions Feyenoord played 34 league matches in which 111 goals were scored (81 for, 30 against). PSV’s matches featured 129 goals, while Ajax’s featured 124.

Stay Updated: Keep up to date with news about injuries, suspensions, and general team news. Managers’ press conferences can reveal a lot of information about the weekend’s team. Bankroll Management: To minimise losses and avoid betting more than you can afford to, keep a keen eye on your bankroll, only betting a certain percentage of your budget.

Live Eredivisie Betting

Yeah sure, watching Ajax vs Feyenoord is great, but you can enhance that experience one step further with live Eredivisie betting, which affords bettors access to more information before they wager their cash.

For example, it might seem like a good idea to get in early and back PSV’s dangerous winger to score first at the weekend. However, what if the game kicks off and the manager has changed formation, leaving that winger in a deeper wing-back role? Well, you can adjust your initial bet and look at other in-play markets with great Eredivisie betting odds!

And NetBet Sport has a huge number of live Eredivisie betting markets to choose from for all matches in the Dutch top flight!

Popular Eredivisie Betting Markets

Here are some Eredivisie markets that attract the most attention on matchday:

Match Winner: The most simple bet. Predict the outcome of a match, with home win, draw, or away win the three possible outcomes.

Over/Under Goals: A bet on whether the total number of goals scored in a match will be over or under a specified amount set by NetBet, eg. over 2.5.

Correct Score: This is trickier and involves predicting the exact score at the full time whistle. Often comes with longer Eredivisie odds.

Both Teams to Score: A yes or no bet on whether both teams will find the net.

Half Time/Full Time: A bet on who will lead the match at half-time and full-time. Eg. Ajax/Ajax would mean they need to be ahead at half time and then win the match.
