Betting on the Eredivisie Online

Sasa Eredivisie fans! Even though many of us are glued to the EPL every weekend, the Dutch top flight has its own buzz with free-flowing攻撃 (attack) football that gives "meaning of relegation" a whole new drama. All clubs in the Netherlands chase promotion and relegation, but moving up to the Eerste Divisie isn’t just about results on the pitch. You’ve got to submit a solid business plan to the KNVB, meet stadium specs and other standards set for all teams in the top two divisions.

At season’s end, the bottom-placed Eredivisie club faces automatic relegation, while the Eerste Divisie champions go straight up. The two teams finishing just above bottom in the Eredivisie enter promotion/relegation playoffs. They’re split into two groups, each with one Eredivisie side and three Eerste Divisie hopefuls. Everyone plays home-and-away, and only the winner of each group earns their place in the top flight next year—everyone else drops to the First Division.

When it comes to global appeal, these giants are right up there. Kenyan fans dreaming of football stardom see these clubs as stepping stones to the world stage.

Ajax Amsterdam FC

AFC Ajax boasts the iconic Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. They’re the most successful Dutch club domestically and in Europe, thanks to their knack for turning teenagers into world-class stars. After their heroics in 2018/19—knocking out Real Madrid and Juventus to reach the Champions League semifinals—Ajax cemented their poa reputation and became a hot pick on sportsbook betting online sites.

PSV Eindhoven

PSV sit second on the all-time Eredivisie winners’ list with 24 titles. They were champs in 2017/18, marking their third trophy in four years, and remain one of the top names at any Kenya-friendly bookie. Their last European crown came way back in 1987/88 when they lifted the Champions League.

Feyenoord Rotterdam FC

Based at De Kuip, Feyenoord’s home is known as the country’s liveliest stadium. Their only Eredivisie title since 1999 arrived in 2016/17, and they’ve got three European trophies to their name, the latest in 2002. Kenyan fans love following their fights against the bigger budgets.

• Coen Dillen’s 43 goals in the inaugural Eredivisie season still stand as the single-campaign record.
• Ajax were the first champions and now boast 36 titles, ahead of PSV’s 24 and Feyenoord’s 15.
• Willy van der Kuijlen holds the all-time scoring mark with 311 goals.
• Pim Doesburg played a record 687 league matches.
• Ajax smashed 19 straight wins in 1971/72 and scored 122 goals in 1966/67—both still league highs.
• On the cards front, Patrick Pothuizen saw 84 yellows, while Gregoor Van Dijk got sent off 7 times.

Kenyan fans obsess over UCL clashes like Arsenal vs Manchester United or Man City vs Feyenoord, and the Eredivisie’s big three have delivered:

• Ajax lead with four Champions League titles (plus two runners-up spots), including a hat-trick from 1971 to 1973.
• PSV and Feyenoord each own one European Cup.
• In the Europa League, Dutch teams have lifted four trophies.

Folks here love mixing EPL and Europa League fixtures into their football soccer predictions for today, especially when PSV vs Juventus or Arsenal v PSV pop up.

The KNVB Cup—branded the TOTO KNVB Beker since 1898—is the Dutch Cup contested by sides from the top four tiers plus 24 district-cup semi-finalists. Outside of the Netherlands, it’s simply called the Dutch Cup. Winners face the Eredivisie champions in the Johan Cruyff Shield to kick off the next season. If the cup king hasn’t made the UCL, they head to the Europa League. PSV currently hold the cup, but Ajax lead all-time with 20 wins.

Dutch football began in 1898 with regional leagues, and champions were decided via playoffs. The KNVB forbade pay, so it stayed amateur until the 1950s. When several national players left abroad for money, the KNVB slapped suspensions on them. In anger, pro players formed a rebel league for the 1954/55 season. After 11 rounds, both sides merged, and by 1956 the Eredivisie was born—officially turning Dutch football professional. Since then, Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord have dominated. And let’s not forget Johan Cruyff, who debuted for Ajax in 1964 and forever changed the game.

Betting on football is almost a national pastime here.

Over-Under

Eredivisie matches often fly past 2.5 goals. If you fancy high-scoring thrillers, ‘over 2.5 goals’ is near a no-brainer.

Here the underdog starts at +0.5 goals and the favourite at -0.5. Bet on the underdog and you win if they at least draw.
