Utrecht vs. FC Twente (Sunday, 11.15am)
Sunday's lunchtime kickoff will see FC Twente look to continue their excellent start to the 2023-24 Eredivisie season when they head to Stadion Galgenwaard to face FC Utrecht.
These sides have made contrasting starts this season, with the hosts currently sitting at the foot of the table with seven points, while the visitors are in third spot and five points behind the league leaders PSV Eindhoven.
We say: FC Utrecht 1-1 FC Twente
While the visitors come into this match with the better record behind them, Utrecht have shown improvement since the international break and are growing in confidence with each game. We are expecting a tight and tactical match here and feel that these sides will end level at the full-time whistle.

PEC Zwolle vs. Sittard (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Looking to bounce back from an embarrassing loss in midweek in the KNVB Cup, PEC Zwolle will welcome an upward-aiming Fortuna Sittard side to MACPARK Stadion on Sunday afternoon in the Eredivisie.
The Bluefingers were knocked out of the Netherlands' primary cup competition on Wednesday night by third-tier opposition, while Fortuna took a pleasant break from league action, winning at Sparta Nijkerk.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-1 Fortuna Sittard
PEC manager Jansen is expecting a different side to turn up compared to the one which lost in the KNVB Cup on Wednesday, but Fortuna will be a hard team to overcome.
The visitors managed to get over the line in Amsterdam in midweek, and we are backing them to force a share of the spoils at the MACPARK Stadion on Sunday.

Nijmegen vs. Volendam (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Aiming to build on success in the KNVB Cup on Thursday night, NEC will welcome relegation-threatened Volendam to Goffertstadion in Nijmegen on Sunday afternoon in the Eredivisie.
The hosts ended a run of three matches without a victory by conquering second-tier opposition in the cup, whilst Volendam were in league action at Ajax, losing quite convincingly in Amsterdam.
We say: NEC 1-0 FC Volendam
NEC will miss the presence of marksman Dost in the coming months, however the hosts will be determined to put on a good show with the 34-year-old watching on TV.
Volendam have been poor on the road so far this season, and we cannot envisage this changing at Goffertstadion on Sunday afternoon in the Eredivisie.

Ajax vs. Heerenveen (Sunday, 3.45pm)
Ajax will be hoping to secure back-to-back Eredivisie victories for the first time this season when they take on Heerenveen at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday evening.
The hosts have been experiencing their worst-ever start to a league campaign this season and are currently in 15th place with eight points, while the visitors are two points ahead of them in 10th spot.
We say: Ajax 2-1 Heerenveen
Ajax experienced a new-manager bounce in the last match and will be looking to keep the momentum going as they approach their must-win Europa League encounter against Brighton & Hove Albion next week. Last week's win could be the turning point in the season for the hosts, and we fancy them to go back-to-back in this one.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-0 Almere City
On the back of holding fifth-placed Go Ahead Eagles, Almere have nothing to fear ahead of this encounter. However, we are backing Sparta to come through with a professional win, one which could move them into fifth position.
