Feyenoord square off against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday morning looking to retain their grip on third position in the Eredivisie standings.
Meanwhile, ninth-placed Sparta head into the derby on the back of recording three wins from their last four fixtures.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 Feyenoord
This has all the makings of being a competitive encounter, particularly with Sparta possessing home advantage. However, Feyenoord need to find something extra to trouble their title rivals, and we feel that extra motivation will prove decisive during the closing quarter.
Our tipster partners are predicting that both teams will score (BTTS - yes).

There is a huge game in the Eredivisie relegation battle on Sunday as VVV-Venlo host Willem II.
Both clubs are currently level on nine points, with VVV occupying 16th position and the relegation playoff spot, while Willem are a place higher due to goal difference.
We say: VVV-Venlo 2-2 Willem II
Goals are almost guaranteed in this game due to both teams' leaky defences, and each side will be desperate to win and earn even the smallest bit of breathing room from the bottom three, but we think it will end up all square.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Heerenveen vs. Sittard (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Fortuna Sittard will be hoping that their pre-Christmas revival continues into the new year when they travel to Heerenveen on Sunday.
The visitors had picked up 10 points from a possible 12 heading into the Eredivisie winter break, while their opponents are winless in seven games.
We say: Heerenveen 2-1 Fortuna Sittard
Heerenveen will see the new year as a fresh start after their poor end to 2020, and we think that they will claim all three points against a Fortuna side who will be feeling confident off the back of their recent revival but may have lost some momentum because of the winter break.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

After a two-week winter break, Eredivisie football is back this weekend with the top two facing each other on Sunday as Ajax host PSV Eindhoven.
The home side currently sit top of the table, but a draw away at Willem II before Christmas allowed PSV, who beat VVV-Venlo, to move one point behind them.
We say: Ajax 2-1 PSV Eindhoven
Both sides are striving for the Eredivisie title this season and will be intent on making a statement this weekend. PSV have key attacking players out injured and as a result will likely need something special from the likes of Gotze, Gakpo and Madueke to win this game. Ajax, who have a good record against their opponents, should just edge what is expected to be a tight encounter.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
