In a match that could impact both the race for European football and the relegation battle in the Eredivisie, Go Ahead Eagles are set to host Willem II at De Adelaarshorst on Sunday.

The pride of IJssel Kowet are in strong form and will be looking for their fourth win on the bounce this weekend, while the Tricolores will be desperate to stop the rot.

We say: Go Ahead Eagles 3-1 Willem II

Neither side have been the strongest defensively in recent matches, so expect both teams to be on the scoresheet this weekend.

That being said, Go Ahead Eagles are in strong form as they chase down their rivals in the European places, and they look likely to pick up another three points on Saturday.

Two sides separated by four points in the middle of the Eredivisie table will square off on Sunday, as Groningen welcome Fortuna Sittard to Euroborg.

The teams have both moved clear of the threat of relegation with recent wins, with the visitors climbing back up to eighth spot and their hosts now sitting 10th.

We say: Groningen 1-1 Fortuna Sittard

With both sides heading into the weekend with renewed confidence from recent improved runs, we anticipate a tight contest at Euroborg on Sunday and anticipate a share of the spoils.

Still licking their wounds from their Champions League exit, Feyenoord return to action in the Eredivisie when they journey to the De Grolsch Veste to take on FC Twente on Sunday.

While De club aan de Maas will be looking to secure a morale-boosting result, Joseph Oosting’s men head into the weekend in search of a ninth consecutive home win across all competitions since the start of December.

We say: FC Twente 2-1 Feyenoord

Reeling from their Champions League heartbreak, Feyenoord will head into the weekend looking to quickly bounce back as they push for a top-three finish in the league. However, Twente have been near impenetrable at home in recent weeks and we are backing them to come away with the desired result.

Both fresh from Europa League exits, Ajax will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top of the Eredivisie table when they welcome AZ Alkmaar to the Johan Cruyff Arena for the Noord-Hollandse Derby on Sunday evening.

The Sons of the Gods extended their winning run to ten league matches last time out, maintaining their commanding eight-point lead over second-placed PSV.

We say: Ajax 2-1 AZ Alkmaar

Given Ajax’s impressive form, it is difficult to see them slipping up against an AZ side that have lost their last two away matches in all competitions.

The hosts have been resolute at the back throughout their 10-game winning streak, while their attack has found its rhythm at just the right time, and that firepower could prove too much for an AZ defence that have shipped nine goals in their last four away outings.
