AFC Ajax are still on the top of table and they managed to maintain their lead of 2 points over the second placed team of Vitesse Arnhem. PSV Eindhoven are also doing great in their quest for the league title this season.

FC Emmen - ADO Den Haag

FC Emmen host ADO Den Haag at their JenS Vesting Stadion in an exciting clash from the relegation zone.

Both sides are showing pretty dreadful results since the beginning of the new season. The bottom two teams are also quite evenly matched in terms of their poor performance, so we should see a high-scoring draw this Saturday.

• The most recent games of FC Emmen consist of 6 consecutive defeats in Eredivisie.
• ADO Den Haag have lost by 3 or more goals in 6 of their last 12 away league games.
• Of their 12 most recent Eredivisie games, FC Emmen have seen 9 in which both teams scored.
• ADO Den Haag have won just 2 of their last 26 matches in Eredivisie.
• Prediction: Draw @ 4.00

AFC Ajax - PEC Zwolle

PEC Zwolle travel to face the league leaders AFC Ajax this weekend.

The home side continue to occupy the top spot, even though they suffered an unexpected 1-2 home defeat to FC Twente last Saturday. PEC Zwolle, on the other hand, have made a mixed start to their new campaign and are currently 11th in the standing.

• AFC Ajax have won 27 of their last 35 league games.
• Both teams scored in PEC Zwolle's last 6 away matches in Eredivisie.
• AFC Ajax achieved a run of 8 wins at HT/FT in their last 11 games in Eredivisie.
• AFC Ajax have won 13 of their last 19 home league matches by margin of 2+ goals.
• Prediction: AFC Ajax @ 1.13

Vitesse Arnhem - SC Heerenveen

Vitesse Arnhem will try to overtake the league leaders this Sunday, when they host SC Heerenveen at their GelreDome.

The home side are currently 2 points below Ajax in the table, but have a great opportunity to claim the first spot in this round of fixtures. SC Heerenveen are a bit inconsistent in their performance lately, as they have drawn their last 3 matches.

• We have seen 6 straight home Eredivisie wins in a row for Vitesse Arnhem.
• In their 14 most recent away Eredivisie games, SC Heerenveen have seen both teams score.

PSV Eindhoven - FC Utrecht

In another interesting encounter this weekend,  FC Utrecht travel to face PSV Eindhoven.

The home side are striving to reduce the gap to the top two teams and so far they are doing an amazing job, as they have won their previous 4 fixtures. FC Utrecht aren’t in top form and they don’t pose much of a threat to such a tough opponent as PSV Eindhoven.

• PSV Eindhoven's most recent record of 12 consecutive home games in Eredivisie consists of no losses.
• There are no losses for FC Utrecht in 14 of their most recent 17 games (Eredivisie).
