FC Twente square off against Sparta Rotterdam on Thursday evening looking to boost their chances of claiming a top-five spot in the Eredivisie standings.

While the visitors have their sights set on the European places, Sparta head into this contest sitting seven points adrift of their next opponents.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 FC Twente

With both teams heading into this fixture out of form, any result is a realistic possibility. Boasting a better attacking and defensive record, we have to go with the visitors, who possess the extra bit of quality which could decide Thursday's contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Ajax play host to Willem II on Thursday evening looking to strengthen their position at the top of the Eredivisie standings.

While the home side lead the way in the Dutch top flight, the visitors are four points adrift of safety after a nine-match winless streak.

We say: Ajax 4-0 Willem II

Given the current trajectories of the two teams, it would be a monumental surprise if Ajax did not cruise to victory on Thursday night. Even if a number of players are rested, we would still expect the leaders to prevail in comfortable fashion.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 3.5 goals.
