Ajax play host to Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday looking to strengthen their position at the top of the Eredivisie table.

At a time when the home side are two points clear of PSV Eindhoven, the visitors to Amsterdam are seventh and bidding to edge closer to the top five.

We say: Ajax 2-0 Go Ahead Eagles

On the back of being in Europa League action on Thursday, it remains to be seen how Ajax will recover. Nevertheless, they should still have enough quality in their ranks to overcome Go Ahead Eagles, despite the possibility of their opponents remaining competitive throughout.

Barely three days after their recent European nightmare, FC Twente will set out to get back to winning ways when NEC come visiting De Grolsch Veste on Sunday afternoon.

A little over six months since August's reverse meeting, the home side have the opportunity to complete what would be a second league double in three years over their visitors.

We say: FC Twente 2-1 NEC

Twente were dealt a huge blow on the continental scene last time out and will be keen to serve up an immediate response in front of their fans this weekend.

We are backing the home side to get the job done and come out victorious, albeit by only a narrow margin.

AZ vs. Sittard (Sunday, 3.45pm)

AZ Alkmaar play host to Fortuna Sittard on Sunday looking for the victory that could move the club into third place in the Eredivisie table.

Despite sitting in 11th position in the standings, the visitors are currently enduring one of their worst runs of form this campaign.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-1 Fortuna Sittard

On the back of such an impressive win in midweek, it remains to be seen whether AZ can reproduce that level of performance. Nevertheless, we feel that they should still have enough in the tank to inflict more misery on Sittard, potentially through a late goal.
