Dutch football is a league of goals at both ends. Only 3.3% of Eredivisie matches finished 0-0, which is less than half the rate across our leagues. The second commonest score is 2-2. One match in five is won by three goals or more. If you’re used to Italian or Spanish scores, the Netherlands will look strange.
The table below lists Dutch fixtures with a predicted score. The predictions come from an outside provider and we show them as published. The notes use 693 Eredivisie results from July 2024 to October 2026 to show how Dutch scores behave.

How a correct score bet works
The bet wins only if the match ends exactly as named after 90 minutes plus added time. Extra time and penalties don’t count, so a cup match that’s 2-2 after 90 minutes is a 2-2. Own goals count for the team credited with them, and an abandoned match is normally a void bet. Bookmakers differ on the details, so check the rules where you play.
The scores in the Eredivisie
| Score | Share of Eredivisie matches |
|---|---|
| 1-1 | 11.5% |
| 2-2 | 9.1% |
| 1-0 | 7.9% |
| 1-2 | 7.8% |
| 2-1 | 7.5% |
| 2-0 | 7.2% |
The Eredivisie is the only league we counted where 2-2 is the second commonest score. It’s 9.1% of matches, against 6.0% across all leagues. Meanwhile 1-0 is down in third place, and 0-0 is nowhere near the top six. A goalless draw happened only once in about thirty matches.
The top five scores cover 44% of matches, and we found 41 different final scores. That’s a spread similar to the Bundesliga, though the Eredivisie draws slightly more often, in 26% of matches against 24.5%.
Goals at both ends
Dutch matches averaged 3.17 goals. Over 1.5 landed in 85% of them, over 2.5 in 61% and over 3.5 in 39%. Both teams scored in 61%. The home side was scoreless in only 16% of matches, the lowest of any league in our sample, and the visitors in 26%.
Matches were also often decided by a wide margin. A win by three goals or more happened in 20.5% of matches, against 14.4% across our leagues, and a home win by two or more goals in 25%. So the Eredivisie produces both the draws that are high-scoring and the wins that are lopsided.
How many goals
| Goals in the match | Share of Eredivisie matches |
|---|---|
| 0 | 3.3% |
| 1 | 12.0% |
| 2 | 24.2% |
| 3 | 21.6% |
| 4 | 17.7% |
| 5 | 11.5% |
| 6 or more | 9.5% |
Two goals is the commonest total at 24%, but four or more goals appeared in 39% of matches. That’s why the commonest scores include 2-2 and 3-1 as well as the usual 1-1 and 2-1. A match with exactly one goal, which means a 1-0 or a 0-1, is only 12%.
Home advantage
Home sides won 43% of matches, drew 26% and lost 31%. They averaged 1.75 goals against the visitors’ 1.42.
Home wins by two goals or more were 25% of matches, and away wins by two or more were 16%. The visitors were scoreless in 26% of matches, which is fewer than in most leagues. So a predicted home win with a comfortable margin has solid backing in the Netherlands.
PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord
These are from each club’s point of view over 77 league matches each:
| Club | Won / drew / lost | Goals for / against | Commonest scores (club first) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSV | 75% / 10% / 14% | 3.00 / 1.25 | 2-1 (13%), 3-1 (10%), 2-2 and 2-0 (8% each) |
| Ajax | 56% / 30% / 14% | 2.03 / 1.10 | 2-0 (21%), 2-2 (16%), 1-1 (10%) |
| Feyenoord | 60% / 23% / 17% | 2.30 / 1.19 | 1-1 (12%), 2-0 (10%), 2-1 (9%) |
Both teams scored in 74% of PSV’s matches, which averaged 4.25 goals. They drew only 10% of league games. Ajax were the opposite: they drew 30% of theirs, and 2-0 and 2-2 were their two commonest results by a wide margin. Feyenoord sat between the two.
PSV finished top in 2024/25 on 79 points, a point clear of Ajax on 78, and again in 2025/26 on 84 with Feyenoord on 65.
Five rules we follow
- Give 2-2 a place. It’s the second commonest score in the league.
- Don’t predict 0-0. It happened in only 3.3% of matches.
- Allow for big wins. One match in five is won by three or more goals.
- Look at the club. PSV’s games have four or more goals, and Ajax’s often end level.
- Keep stakes small. The commonest score is 11.5%.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is applying a cautious league pattern. In the Eredivisie, backing 1-0 and 0-0 as defaults misses most of the real picture.
Another is predicting only wins for PSV. Their commonest results are wins, but a 2-2 is as likely as a 2-0.
The third is ignoring draws for Ajax. They drew 30% of their league matches in our sample.
Reading a Dutch row
If the table predicts 1-1 for two mid-table sides, that’s the league’s commonest score and a reasonable pick. If it predicts 2-2, you’re on the second commonest. A predicted 0-0 is a rare pick in the Netherlands, since only 3.3% of matches end that way.
For PSV at home, expect high-scoring wins such as 3-1 and 2-1, not 1-0. For Ajax, 2-0 and 2-2 are both live.
