Heerenveen are seeking to extend their unbeaten league run of four games when they host AZ Alkmaar on Saturday at the Abe Lenstra Stadion.
Meanwhile, the visitors are searching for their fifth consecutive away victory as they continue to chase Feyenoord at the top of the Eredivisie.
We say: Heerenveen 0-2 AZ Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar's away record speaks for itself, so it is difficult to imagine that they will not get a positive result here.
The hosts will put up a decent fight, but we expect the away side to prevail with all three points on Saturday.

FC Volendam are aiming to make it back-to-back victories in the Eredivisie when they welcome RKC Waalwijk to the Kras Stadion on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the visitors have won just once in their last nine games and come into this clash in search of a much-needed victory.
We say: FC Volendam 1-1 RKC Waalwijk
Both sides are struggling for form at the moment, so we think this one will end as a draw.
Volendam have only enjoyed one win at home this season, while RKC have only managed to pick up one win on the road so we think both sides will cancel each other out here.

Ajax vs. FC Twente (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Defending champions Ajax will be seeking to close the gap at the top of the Eredivisie when they host FC Twente at the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Saturday.
The hosts could only manage a draw with NEC Nijmegen in their return to league proceedings last weekend, while the visitors ran out 2-0 winners against FC Emmen, so they will be looking to make it back-to-back victories here.
We say: Ajax 2-1 FC Twente
Ajax put five goals past Twente in this fixture last season, but Twente have conceded the fewest goals in the division so far this term with nine, while also keeping the most clean sheets, suggesting that they will be hard to break down this weekend.
However, the hosts have have scored the most goals in the league, so we think they will have the firepower to edge this encounter and claim all three points here.
