Seeking to move out of the relegation zone, Fortuna Sittard take a trip to the AFAS Stadium to take on AZ Alkmaar in round 15 of the Eredivisie.

The hosts, meanwhile, head into the game on a run of three consecutive draws across all competitions and will be looking to snap this streak and move into the top half of the standings.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-0 Fortuna Sittard

Fortuna Sittard need to turn their fortunes around sooner rather than later after defeat against Groningen last time out left them languishing in the relegation zone. However, they have struggled for results against AZ Alkmaar in recent history and we are tipping the hosts to come away with all three points and heap more misery on their floundering visitors.

Ajax play host to Willem II on Thursday evening looking for the victory which will ensure that they remain at the top of the Eredivisie standings.

Meanwhile, early surprise package Willem II are now down in 11th position, a consequence of suffering four successive defeats.

We say: Ajax 3-0 Willem II

Regardless of how the visitors impressed earlier in the season, this should be a routine 90 minutes for Ajax. Clean sheets have been their bread and butter, and we expect another shutout with several goals to boot.
