Nijmegen vs. PSV (Saturday, 3.30pm)
Aiming to further stretch their lead at the top of the Eredivisie table and take a step closer to the title, PSV Eindhoven will return from the international break with a trip to NEC on Saturday.
With eight league games remaining, the visitors find themselves still unbeaten and 10 points clear of second-placed Feyenoord, while their hosts will bid to crack the top five with a return to winning ways.
We say: NEC 0-2 PSV Eindhoven
PSV Eindhoven were not at their scintillating best before the international break, and the rest may have come at a good time as a reset for Peter Bosz's side.
Although they face a tough test away from home on their return, we can only envisage the Boeren having too much quality and coming out on top at the weekend.

Sparta vs. Sittard (Saturday, 5.45pm)
Two sides separated by just three points in the middle of the Eredivisie table will do battle on Saturday, as Sparta Rotterdam welcome Fortuna Sittard to the Sparta Stadion.
Thanks to an impressive run of form before the international break, the visitors leapfrogged their hosts and moved into the top half with eight games left to play.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-2 Fortuna Sittard
Fortuna Sittard showed plenty of encouraging signs before the break, while their hosts struggled despite a creditable draw with Ajax last time out.
Given the shifting momentum between the two mid-table teams, we anticipate Fortunezen coming out on top and stretching the gap on Saturday.

Go Ahead Eagles vs. Excelsior (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Go Ahead Eagles could move up to sixth in the Eredivisie table by beating SBV Excelsior on Saturday.
Excelsior are only outside of the relegation on goal difference, having won just four league games all season.
We say: Go Ahead Eagles 2-1 SBV Excelsior
Having enjoyed a superb season by their usual standards so far, Go Ahead Eagles will be hopeful that they can return to winning ways against their struggling opponents on Saturday.
Excelsior finally ended their losing run against fellow strugglers last time out, but they may be on the end of another narrow defeat at De Adelaarshorst.

RKC Waalwijk vs. Heerenveen (Saturday, 7.00pm)
RKC Waalwijk will be hoping to move outside of the Eredivisie's relegation zone by gaining a positive result against Heerenveen on Saturday.
The visitors head into the encounter nine points clear of their opponents, and five points behind FC Utrecht in the table's play-off spots.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 2-2 Heerenveen
Waalwijk are fighting tooth and nail to remain in the Eredivisie, whereas Heerenveen have less obvious matters to play for.
As such, we can envisage the hosts avoiding defeat at least on Saturday, but the visitors have plenty of firepower and will fancy their chances of scoring some goals.

AZ vs. Vitesse (Saturday, 8.00pm)
AZ Alkmaar will attempt to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches when they play host to Vitesse in Saturday's Eredivisie contest.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to return to winning ways after taking just one point from their last three matches.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-1 Vitesse
The in-form hosts will be the obvious favourites to get the better of a struggling Vitesse side, and we expect AZ to showcase their extra quality and claim a relatively comfortable victory in Saturday's contest.
