PEC Zwolle vs. VVV-Venlo (Sunday, 11.15am)
Hoping to avoid an eighth league defeat on the bounce, VVV-Venlo travel to the MAC³PARK Stadion to take on PEC Zwolle on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the home side have lost four of their last five Eredivisie games, so like their visitors, they are also going through a rough patch.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-1 VVV-Venlo
In most games between two teams in bad form, the fear of losing is usually greater than the thought of winning. We expect a cagey affair in this one and ultimately, a share of the spoils.

AZ Alkmaar play host to PSV Eindhoven on Sunday afternoon with the opportunity to move level on points with their second-placed opponents.
Already sitting eight points adrift of Eredivisie leaders Ajax, the visitors may prioritise avoiding defeat against their nearest rivals for Champions League qualification.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 2-1 PSV Eindhoven
Having allowed AZ back into the race for second position, Schmidt knows that his players are under pressure to raise their performance level in this game. However, with scoring goals not an issue for the home team, we are backing the hosts to battle their way to arguably their most important win of the season.

Vitesse vs. Willem II (Sunday, 1.30pm)
In search of a fourth consecutive league win, high-flying Vitesse welcome an in-form Willem II side to the GelreDome on Sunday.
The visitors are unbeaten in the last four games, and as a result, they have given their chances of survival a huge boost.
We say: Vitesse 2-0 Willem II
Confidence will be high in both camps following the positive results that the sides have had in recent weeks. However, we are backing the home side to keep their good run going at the expense of the visitors by claiming all three points.

Two sides in search of a third consecutive Eredivisie victory clash on Sunday when Heracles welcome Sparta Rotterdam to the Erve Asito.
October's reverse fixture between the teams ended in a 1-1 draw, so a win here for either side would see them get the better of the other over two games.
We say: Heracles 2-1 Sparta Rotterdam
This could go either way as both sides come into this one in good form. However, we are backing the home team to come out victorious by a narrow margin in what should be a closely contested affair.

Eredivisie leaders Ajax welcome ADO Den Haag to the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Sunday in search of an eighth consecutive home win in all competitions.
Meanwhile, the visitors have won only one league game since the turn of the year, picking up eight points from a possible 36.
We say: Ajax 5-0 ADO Den Haag
Den Haag have been all over the place defensively this term, and Ajax are renowned for their ruthlessness in attack. On that account, we are backing the home side to claim a routine victory with plenty of goals en route.
