After some pretty impressive results, AZ Alkmaar managed to quickly level up points with AFC Ajax on the top of the Holland's Eredivisie, which now puts questions about who to be the next league winner.

SC Heerenveen - Heracles Almelo

SC Heerenveen will be challenged by Heracles Almelo at home in their upcoming match from this weekend.

The two teams are separated only by two points in the table, which means that should the away side win the match, they will definitely move at least one place up.

• SC Heerenveen's 8 latest matches from Eredivisie, both teams scored.
• SC Heerenveen are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 home matches in Eredivisie.
• Heracles Almelo have achieved just 2 wins of their last 12 away Eredivisie games.
• Heracles Almelo have allowed 2+ goals in 8 of their last 12 away matches in Eredivisie.
• Prediction: SC Heerenveen @ 1.82

Sparta Rotterdam - AZ Alkmaar

AZ Alkmaar will probably continue their chase with another win, this time against the inconsistent team of Sparta Rotterdam.

The away side has been superior lately staying undefeated in the league for 7 matches now winning everything on their way, but most importantly, they managed to take vital three points from the league leaders in the last round.

• Sparta Rotterdam haven't scored a single goal in all of their last 3 Eredivisie games.
• Sparta Rotterdam haven't lost a match in 5 of their last 6 home matches in Eredivisie.
• AZ Alkmaar have defeated Sparta Rotterdam in 15 of their last 18 league meetings.
• No defeats can be found in AZ Alkmaar's 19 most recent games against Sparta Rotterdam in Eredivisie.
• Prediction: AZ Alkmaar @ 1.53

FC Utrecht - Feyenoord

In a rather tense encounter FC Utrecht will face at home Feyenoord on Sunday.

Both teams managed to win their most recent match from the league, and are separated only by one point in the standing, so we can easily presume that this fixture will produce fireworks.

• FC Utrecht have won by 2 or more goals 11 of their last 22 league games.
• There are no losses for FC Utrecht in 14 of their most recent 17 home games (Eredivisie).
• Feyenoord haven't been beaten in 24 of their 26 most recent clashes with FC Utrecht in Eredivisie.

• Prediction: Feyenoord @ 2.68

FC Groningen - FC Emmen

Two teams showing mixed results lately will face each other on Sunday, when FC Groningen host FC Emmen.

These two teams are going all to pot with each next round, so they will have to improve something in their constancy.

• FC Groningen have won by 2+ goals 4 of their last 6 home Eredivisie games.
• FC Groningen are solid defensively, with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches (Eredivisie).
• FC Emmen have won just 3 of their last 22 away matches in Eredivisie.
• In their last 16 away games in Eredivisie, FC Emmen have recorded a total of 13 losses.
• Prediction: FC Groningen @ 1.61
