Ajax make the trip to PEC Zwolle on Sunday morning in desperate need of three points as they bid to remain in the hunt for a top-four spot in the Eredivisie standings.
At a time when the visitors sit eight points adrift of that position, Zwolle are in 13th place after a prolonged run without a win.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-3 Ajax
Only wins will do for Ajax from this stage onwards, yet we expect them to have to battle for maximum points here. Nevertheless, that is exactly what they need, and a hard-fought victory could stand them in good stead going forward.

Feyenoord play host to FC Utrecht on Sunday afternoon knowing that they realistically need to win to remain in the Eredivisie title hunt.
At a time when the defending champions sit 10 points adrift of PSV Eindhoven in the standings, Utrecht are eighth and very much in the conversation with regards to European qualification.
We say: Feyenoord 2-0 FC Utrecht
Having gotten back on track before the international break, Utrecht will back themselves to earn at least a share of the spoils on Sunday. Nevertheless, we cannot predict against the home side, who may score a goal in each half to come through this contest.

Two sides at opposite ends of the Eredivisie table go head to head on Sunday evening as FC Twente play host to Heracles at De Grolsch Veste.
Having failed to win any of the last five meetings between the teams since September 2019, the Heraclieden will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and pull clear of the relegation zone.
We say: FC Twente 2-1 Heracles
Buoyed by their victory against Go Ahead Eagles, Heracles will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to steer clear of the danger zone. However, Oosting's men have been near-impenetrable at home this season and we see them coming away with a narrow victory.

Almere City will be looking to pick up back to back wins across competitive and non-competitive fixtures for the first time since January when they welcome FC Volendam to the Yanmar Stadion on Sunday.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into this weekend's encounter still in search of a first Eredivisie victory since the turn of the year.
We say: Almere City 2-1 FC Volendam
The teams boast similar attacking records heading into this one, but Volendam have been far more porous defensively, and consequently, we are tipping the home side to come out on top in the end.
