AFC Ajax have won their previous 6 fixtures and are quickly progressing in the race for the league title. PSV Eindhoven have lost their clash against Feyenoord last weekend and are slowly straying away from the first spot, while Vitesse Arnhem are just 1 point below them.
Second placed team of PSV Eindhoven host FC Twente at their Philips Stadion this Saturday.
The home side are trailing in the battle for the first spot and now they are 7 points below the current league leaders, due to their 3-1 defeat at Feyenoord. FC Twente are doing a great job in their travels so far and they will try to get the most out of this upcoming encounter.
AZ Alkmaar travel to face the poorly performing side of FC Emmen this weekend.
The hosts are situated rock bottom in the table and have little chances of remaining in the Eredivisie next season. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, are by far the better team and should easily secure the 3 points this round.
The reigning champions continue their title defence this Sunday, when they host FC Utrecht at their Amsterdam ArenA.
FC Utrecht are a bit inconsistent lately and will need to improve their performance, if they want to play in the European tournaments. AFC Ajax will be striving to increase their leadership on the top of the table and extend their recent winning streak.
Two teams, who are showing pretty similar results lately, face each other this weekend in an intense clash from the bottom of the standing.
Willem II Tilburg and ADO Den Haag are threatened with relegation, as they occupy the 16th and 17th spot respectively. Both sides will be eager to win this six-pointer and gain an advantage over their opponents in the relegation zone.
