After 6 rounds of fixtures, AFC Ajax occupy the top spot, thanks to their superior goal difference over Vitesse Arnhem. The other teams in top 4 are just slightly behind, which makes things even more intense.
This weekend, the current league leaders host Fortuna Sittard at their Amsterdam ArenA.
AFC Ajax recorded a whopping 0-13 win against VVV Venlo and they will be eager to continue their winning streak in the upcoming round, as well. Fortuna Sittard are sitting rock bottom in the league standing and have little chances of success against such a tough opponent.
Vitesse Arnhem travel to face Willem II Tilburg this Saturday in their quest for the first spot.
The away side are level on points with the current league leaders, therefore a win this week could bring them on top of the table. Willem II Tilburg are in the bottom half of the standing, due to their inconsistent performance.
Sparta Rotterdam will try to push away from the relegation zone this Sunday, when they face SC Heerenveen.
The home side are performing quite poorly since the start of the new season, as they are yet to register a win. SC Heerenveen are by far the better team in this fixture and they should add another win to their tally, which will give them a boost in the battle in top 4.
PSV Eindhoven will be aiming for a win this Sunday, when they host ADO Den Haag at their Philips Stadion.
The away side are really inconstient in their first fixtures of the season and are currently just above the relegation zone. PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, are level on points with SC Heerenveen and a win this weekend could give them the upper hand over their opponents in top 4.
