Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Eredivisie fixtures, including Ajax vs. Fortuna Sittard.

AZ vs. Excelsior (Sunday, 11.15am)

AZ Alkmaar will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Eredivisie when they host SBV Excelsior on Sunday.

The visitors have lost five matches in a row, sliding perilously closer to the relegation zone in the process.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-1 SBV Excelsior

AZ's form has been indifferent in recent months, but they are still in a commanding position to qualify for Europe once again, meaning they will be determined to return to winning ways.

Excelsior have lost five straight matches and we are predicting a sixth successive defeat for the visitors, even if they have enough attacking quality to make an interesting game of it.

Two teams in dire need of a victory go head to head at the MAC3PARK Stadion on Sunday afternoon as PEC Zwolle face off against FC Volendam.

The hosts have been beaten in three consecutive matches leading up to this weekend, while the visitors are without a win in eight straight league outings.

We say: PEC Zwolle 1-0 FC Volendam

Volendam have shipped the most goals in the division this term and we cannot see them keeping a clean sheet here. That said, we expect the visitors to put a good fight en route to a narrow defeat come the end of the 90 minutes.

Ajax vs. Sittard (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Ajax seek back-to-back Eredivisie victories when Fortuna Sittard visit the Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday.

The gameweek 25 encounter could see de Godenzonen close the gap on fourth spot while their opponents seek a third road win in four away games.

We say: Ajax 2-2 Fortuna Sittard

Ajax are unbeaten in 10 matches against Fortuna, and even if that is expected to become 11 this weekend, the home side's European exertions and an eye on next week's match at Villa Park could mean the Sittard outfit claim a point in Amsterdam.

In-form NEC will be looking to make it four wins in a row across all competitions when they welcome Heerenveen to Stadion de Goffert on Sunday evening.

On the other hand, the away side make the journey to Nijmegen this weekend aiming to secure a third straight league victory and keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: NEC 2-1 Heerenveen

Both sides have had little trouble finding the back of the net of late and we are expecting an entertaining clash. We can also see the hosts coming away with maximum points in the end.

The final match in gameweek 25 of the Eredivisie pits Feyenoord against Heracles at De Kuip on Sunday.

Arne Slot's side are 10 points adrift of table-topping PSV, thus seeing their title slip away, while the visitors look to avoid the bottom three places in the concluding 10 rounds.

We say: Feyenoord 3-1 Heracles

The home side should record their ninth home win of the season and a third in succession as they hope to maintain enough distance from PSV to keep their outside chances of retaining their title.
