Nijmegen vs. Utrecht (Sunday, 11.15am)
In-form sides NEC and FC Utrecht will be looking to keep their momentum going when they face off against each other at the Goffertstadion on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams head into this one seeking a fourth straight victory across all competitions off the back of respective wins in their final outings before the two-week hiatus for international duty.
We say: NEC 2-2 FC Utrecht
Given the confidence levels of both teams heading into this one, we are anticipating a highly entertaining affair decorated by goals.
That said, we are also backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

Sparta vs. AZ (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Looking for what would be a first league win since September, Sparta Rotterdam and AZ Alkmaar will do battle at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams were on the wrong end of narrow defeats in their last outings, as the hosts lost 1-0 to Groningen, while the visitors came away empty-handed against Willem II.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 AZ Alkmaar
AZ have had the upper hand in this fixture of late and will fancy their chances of securing a much-needed triumph this weekend.
While we expect Sparta to give a good account of themselves, we just about fancy the visitors to get the job done come the end of the 90 minutes.

Willem II vs. NAC Breda (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Two places separate Willem II and NAC Breda in the Eredivisie table heading into Sunday's gameweek 13 meeting at Koning Willem II Stadion.
The international break was timely for both promoted clubs given the seeming dip in form, and they seek positive results after the hiatus.
We say: Willem II 1-0 NAC Breda
Despite beating Willem II on their last two visits to Tilburg, NAC's wretched road results since regaining promotion — one win, five defeats — leave much to be desired.
However, the hosts have not fared better on their turf, winning twice in six matches in front of their supporters.
Although the spoils could be shared in Sunday's game, the home side will back themselves to nick a marginal win for a third victory in front of their fans in 2024-25.

Ajax vs. PEC Zwolle (Sunday, 3.45pm)
Ajax will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Eredivisie this weekend when they face off against PEC Zwolle at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts went into the international break seven points behind league leaders PSV, while the visitors are just one point above Sparta Rotterdam in the relegation playoff spot.
We say: Ajax 3-1 PEC Zwolle
Ajax have made a very impressive start to the season, and announced themselves as genuine title challengers by coming back to beat PSV 3-2 at this venue at the start of the month.
The hosts will be eager to pick up their good form in this match, and given their opponents' away record, we feel that this one should end in a fairly straightforward home win.
