Ajax and Groningen get round 28 of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season underway with a meeting at the Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadion on Saturday.
The home side are looking to make it three wins on the spin, while their visitors seek to go one better and make it four consecutive league victories.
We say: Groningen 1-3 Ajax
With an opportunity to temporarily open up a five-point gap at the top of the standings, Ajax have enough incentive to go out with all guns blazing. We fancy them to get the job done at the end of the 90 minutes.

In search of a seventh consecutive Eredivisie victory, PSV Eindhoven visit the Grolsch Veste Stadium on Saturday to face off against FC Twente.

We say: FC Twente 1-2 PSV Eindhoven
PSV know that any dropped points from here on out could signal the end of their title challenge, and we expect them to be fully up for this one. We are also backing this weekend's visitors to come away with all three points, albeit by a narrow margin.

Two teams who could definitely do with a victory lock horns at the AFAS Stadion on Saturday when AZ Alkmaar play host to Vitesse.
With the sides separated by just one place in the Eredivisie table as it stands, this weekend's contest has all the makings of an absorbing affair.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-1 Vitesse
The onus is more on AZ Alkmaar to take control of proceedings and get the job done in front of their fans. We fancy them to carry the day at the sound of the full-time whistle.

RKC Waalwijk vs. Utrecht (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Seeking to end their three-game winless run, Utrecht take a trip to the Mandemakers Stadion to face RKC Waalwijk in round 28 of the Eredivisie on Saturday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season after the spoils were shared in a thrilling 2-2 draw when they faced off back in September's reverse fixture.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-2 FC Utrecht
Waalwijk will head into the weekend with reinvigorated confidence after seeing off Vitesse in their last league outing and holding Feyenoord to a thrilling friendly draw. While Utrecht have been inconsistent of late, they boast a significantly superior crop of players capable of coming away with the desired results. We expect the hosts to put up a fight, but we are backing Utrecht to claim maximum points in this one.

Feyenoord welcome Willem II to De Kuip on Saturday looking to return to winning ways having failed to win any of their last two outings.
Meanwhile, the away side make the journey to Rotterdam this weekend aiming to avoid a 10th consecutive away defeat across all competitions.
We say: Feyenoord 2-0 Willem II
Feyenoord will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat as they take on a Willem II side struggling at both ends of the pitch. We tip the home side to emerge triumphant in a what should be a relatively comfortable win.
