Saturday’s jam-packed schedule in the Eredivisie will get underway with Fortuna Sittard playing host to top-three hopefuls Feyenoord at Fortuna Sittard Stadion.
While the reverse fixture between these sides ended in a 1-1 draw, that result extended the visitors’ unbeaten run against this opponent to 10 games dating back to October 2019.
We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-2 Feyenoord
Barring last week’s 1-0 victory over AZ, Feyenoord have been rampant in front of goal since the arrival of Robin van Persie, and we feel they will be able to outscore their opponents to take all three points this weekend.

Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to continue their late-season push up the Eredivisie standings this weekend when they host Heerenveen at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday.
The hosts moved up to 12th place with 31 points last weekend, while the visitors’ matchday 28 victory took them into the top eight and Conference League playoff contention.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Heerenveen
While Heerenveen are enjoying a progressive campaign, their away record has been dismal this season, which does not bode well for their chances here against a Sparta side that is unbeaten in their last five home games.
The hosts have the third-best record in the top flight over the last five matchdays, only behind Ajax and Feyenoord, and we feel they will be able to edge the visitors to a win in this one.

Saturday brings us a David vs. Goliath clash in the Eredivisie, with defending champions PSV Eindhoven playing host to a struggling Almere City at Philips Stadion.
This is a must-win fixture for the hosts to keep the pressure on league leaders Ajax, while three points for the visitors could be crucial in helping them avoid the drop.
We say: PSV Eindhoven 4-1 Almere City
Almere City have shown tremendous fighting spirit over the last month, but they were thumped 7-1 by this opponent in the reverse fixture, and we feel they could be in for another big loss in this one.

Go Ahead Eagles will be hoping to return to winning ways in the Eredivisie this weekend when they travel to Rat Verlegh Stadion to face NAC Breda on Saturday evening.
The visitors are on 45 points after 28 games and occupy seventh place in the league standings, while the hosts are down in 15th place with 30 points over the same period.
We say: NAC Breda 2-2 Go Ahead Eagles
While Go Ahead Eagles are enjoying a solid season, they have been leaking goals on the road with regularity of late, and we feel that the hosts, who are unbeaten in their last five at home, will be able to earn a share of the spoils in this one.
