Eredivisie Matchweek 10 runs from 23 October to 25 October 2026, featuring nine fixtures across three days as leaders Feyenoord travel to third-placed PSV Eindhoven. With the division beginning to take shape following the international break, the weekend schedule pairs several direct battles near the top of the table with key meetings in the lower half. Projections for the opening match are published below, while the remaining calls will appear on each match page the day before kickoff.
The match of the round: Go Ahead Eagles vs Telstar
Action begins on Friday as Go Ahead Eagles host Telstar. The hosts sit ninth in the table with 11 points from nine games, having scored 20 goals and conceded 21. Telstar travel to Deventer in 16th place with six points, struggling for form as they carry an eight-match winless streak into the fixture.
Our model provides a firm call for a Go Ahead Eagles win, alongside high confidence in more than 2.5 goals in the match and the home side scoring the opening goal. Go Ahead Eagles have turned De Adelaarshorst into a high-scoring arena this season, with their four home games producing 11 goals and both teams finding the net in every one. Although the hosts are without Eus Waayers, Nick Marsman, and Pim Saathof through injury, top scorer Søren Tengstedt has six goals in all competitions and spearheads an attack that has scored freely.
Telstar arrive without injured forward Rui Mendes and have struggled for offensive output away from home, scoring just twice on the road. Despite pushing Feyenoord close in a 4-3 defeat last time out, their inability to collect victories away from home makes matching the hosts' attacking rhythm difficult. The model also offers a speculative call on a 2-1 home victory, though scoreline projections carry inherently low confidence.
Saturday
Utrecht vs PEC Zwolle Eleventh-placed Utrecht enter Saturday's early game on the back of consecutive league victories, having beaten Twente 2-1 and Willem II 3-1. They will be without injured trio Alonzo Engwanda, Kevin Paredes, and Miliano Jonathans as they face a PEC Zwolle side sitting 15th. The visitors responded to a two-game skid by defeating Go Ahead Eagles 4-1 last weekend, led by top scorer Koen Kostons, though Filip Krastev and Younes Namli remain sidelined.
Willem II vs Cambuur Bottom club Willem II have gathered two points from nine games and carry a three-game losing sequence into Saturday, with Amine Lachkar, Armin Culum, and Justin Hoogma missing through injury. They face 14th-placed Cambuur, who drew 2-2 with AZ Alkmaar last time out and have four points from their last two away trips. Cambuur will have to adapt without the suspended Devid Eugene Bouah alongside injured pair Daan Visser and Wout Asselman.
ADO Den Haag vs Heerenveen Seventeenth-placed ADO Den Haag recorded a notable 2-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in their last outing, moving to six points despite an injury to Luka Reischl. They face eighth-placed Heerenveen, who beat Excelsior 4-0 last week and have won two of their last three games. The visitors travel without Dirk Proper, leaning on top scorer Jacob Trenskow in attack.
Sunday
Fortuna Sittard vs Excelsior Sixth-placed Fortuna Sittard bring an unbeaten three-match run into Sunday, having drawn 2-2 with NEC Nijmegen and 1-1 with Twente. They are without Iván Márquez and Yassin Oukili. Tenth-placed Excelsior have suffered heavy back-to-back losses, conceding nine goals across defeats to Heerenveen and Groningen, but have a clean bill of health regarding confirmed absences.
NEC Nijmegen vs Groningen NEC Nijmegen enter Sunday following a 4-2 victory away at Dinamo Zagreb, though domestic injuries keep Bram Nuytinck, Emre Mor, and Philippe Sandler out of selection. Seventh-placed Groningen arrive having lost 5-2 to Ajax, but had won their previous two league games with eight goals scored. Nikolas Brandis, Elvis van der Laan, and Malcolm Jeng are unavailable for the visitors.
PSV Eindhoven vs Feyenoord Third hosts first in Sunday's headline encounter. PSV secured a 1-0 win away at FC Porto in midweek after dropping points in a 2-1 loss at ADO Den Haag, and they remain without Jerdy Schouten, Alassane Pléa, and Adamo Nagalo. Feyenoord lead the division by three points with 31 goals scored in nine games, though they fell 1-0 away to Real Betis on Wednesday. The league leaders are missing Bart Nieuwkoop, Gijs Smal, and Jakub Moder through injury.
Sparta Rotterdam vs Ajax Sparta Rotterdam sit 13th following a 3-2 victory against Willem II and a 3-3 draw with Go Ahead Eagles, though Shunsuke Mito remains sidelined. Fourth-placed Ajax have won back-to-back matches across all competitions, defeating Atalanta 2-0 and Groningen 5-2, driven by top scorer Julian Brandt. The visitors make the trip without Anton Gaaei, Caio Henrique, and Daley Blind.
AZ Alkmaar vs Twente Second-placed AZ Alkmaar host fifth-placed Twente in the final match of the round. AZ followed a 2-2 draw at Cambuur with a 4-0 victory against Ararat-Armenia, though Jizz Hornkamp, Kees Smit, and Stije Resink are out through injury. Twente beat Lincoln Red Imps FC 4-1 on Thursday after losing 2-1 at home to Utrecht, and they travel without goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall, Filip Thorvaldsen, and Max Bruns.
Feyenoord's visit to PSV offers AZ Alkmaar an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table if the leaders drop points. Meanwhile, Willem II, Telstar, and ADO Den Haag will look to narrow the margin between the bottom three and safety.
