With both teams running out of time to preserve their Eredivisie status, Almere City and RKC Waalwijk will do battle at the Yanmar Stadion on Sunday afternoon.
Currently 11 and 10 points adrift of safety respectively, the hosts and visitors cannot afford too many slip-ups from here on out, and a loss this weekend edges them closer to dropping out of the top flight.
We say: Almere City 1-1 RKC Waalwijk
Given the quality of defending on display from both sides over the course of the season so far, it would be a huge surprise if either of them came away unbreached.
We are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

The standout fixture on matchday 22 in the Eredivisie will come from the Johan Cruijff ArenA where Ajax will be playing host to Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts will keep the pressure firmly on PSV at the top of the table with three points in this match, while the visitors need a victory to keep pace with the chasing pack.
We say: Ajax 2-1 Feyenoord
Feyenoord have not been at their best this season, and now return to the domestic league where they are winless in their last three games. In contrast, Ajax are riding a four-match win streak in the Eredivisie and have not lost a home game since November 2023.
The visitors should get on the scoresheet, but we feel the hosts will come out on top in this contest.

Sunday in the Eredivisie brings us an important matchday 21 fixture, with Go Ahead Eagles playing host to fellow top-half opponents FC Twente at De Adelaarshorst.
This is a significant match in the race for European qualification, with the hosts currently in seventh place on 31 points, just three points behind their opponents in fifth.
We say: Go Ahead Eagles 2-2 FC Twente
Go Ahead Eagles have been in great shape lately, and while they have lost each of their last three league games against this opponent, we feel that they will be able to take at least a share of the spoils from this one given the impressive run of form they are in.

Sparta vs. Groningen (Sunday, 3.45pm)

In a crucial match in the Eredivisie's relegation battle, Sparta Rotterdam will host Groningen at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday.
De Kasteelheren come into the game with confidence after an important win last time out, while De FC will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to three games.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Groningen
Sparta have endured a difficult season at home and Groningen are particularly poor on the road, so expect a close game.
However, the hosts will be feeling confident after picking up an important three points last time out, and that could give them enough of an edge over the visitors to take all three points on Sunday.

Willem II vs. AZ (Sunday, 7.00pm)

With European qualification in their sights, AZ Alkmaar will travel to take on Willem II at Koning Willem II Stadion as part of Sunday's Eredivisie action.
The Tricolores are still waiting for their first win of 2025, while De Kaasboeren will be looking to get back on track domestically after progressing in the Europa League in midweek.
We say: Willem II 1-2 AZ Alkmaar
Neither side are in the strongest form ahead of this weekend's clash, and Koning Willem II Stadion is likely to host another close-fought contest.
However, having dropped points in three games on the bounce, AZ will be desperate for the win and will likely pick up all three points in a narrow victory on Sunday.
