Very interesting first half of the season in Eredivisie, where PSV Eindhoven seemed to can't keep up the pace, which put them in the 4th place, while AFC Ajax remain on the top, leading with 6 points to the second, AZ Alkmaar.

SC Heerenveen - AZ Alkmaar

On Saturday AZ Alkmaar will try not to lose more points, having in mind their two most recent losses in matches from the league.

The visitors will surely face resistance from SC Heerenveen, who on the other hand, must secure their current spot in the league if they want to fulfill their Europa League participation goal.

• SC Heerenveen are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 home matches in Eredivisie.
• In SC Heerenveen's most recent 10 Eredivisie matches, both teams scored.
• AZ Alkmaar have won their last 3 away games against SC Heerenveen in Eredivisie.
• AZ Alkmaar have won 5 of their last 9 league matches by margin of 3+ goals.
• Prediction: AZ Alkmaar @ 1.74

RKC Waalwijk - VVV Venlo

In a relegation battle RKC Waalwijk will face VVV Venlo.

While a win here for the visitors will see them escape the relegation zone, for RKC Waalwijk such will surely be helpful for the team's spirit and form.

• RKC Waalwijk have conceded 2 or more goals in 15 of their last 19 Eredivisie games.

• Prediction: RKC Waalwijk @ 2.04

Heracles Almelo - Feyenoord

Feyenoord will have the chance to snatch an important away win, that might secure them the 4th place in the standing.

In order this to happen, they must outplay Heracles Almelo on their ground, which won't be an easy task.

• Heracles Almelo have a good record of 6 undefeated games of their last 7 home encounters in Eredivisie.

Willem II Tilburg - PEC Zwolle

This season the big surprise in the league is Willem II Tilburg, who demonstrate major improvement in form, which got them the 3rd place.

On Sunday they will probably remain undefeated against the weak PEC Zwolle, who on the other hand, need points to distance the relegation zone.
