Round 21 of the 2023-24 Eredivisie season sees Go Ahead Eagles and PEC Zwolle go head-to-head at De Adelaarshorst Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams emerged victorious from their respective last outings and will head into this weekend's encounter with the wind in their sails.
We say: Go Ahead Eagles 2-1 PEC Zwolle
The sides have been in good goalscoring form heading into this one, and we expect a highly entertaining clash here. That said, we are backing the hosts to come away with maximum points at the sound of the final whistle.

It is 10th versus 11th in the 2023-24 Eredivisie season this Sunday as FC Utrecht entertain the challenge of Fortuna Sittard at the Stadion Galgenwaard.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches, while the away side saw their four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions come to an end last time out.
We say: FC Utrecht 1-0 Fortuna Sittard
Both Utrecht and Fortuna have been far from impressive at the top end of the pitch this term, so a drab affair is on the cards here. That said, we can see the home side just about managing to get the job done in the end.

Ajax will look to continue their resurgence in the Eredivisie when they make the trip to Heerenveen on Sunday afternoon.
At a time when the visitors are sitting in fifth position in the table, Heerenveen are down in 13th spot after a prolonged winless streak.
We say: Heerenveen 1-3 Ajax
Although Heerenveen have shown some life in recent matches, playing host to Ajax remains one of Dutch football's toughest games. While we expect the home side to get on the scoresheet, the visitors should have too much quality in the final third.

Two teams on contrasting paths in the Eredivisie will face off this weekend when PSV Eindhoven head to Kras Stadion to take on FC Volendam on Sunday evening.
The hosts sit atop the league standings and have opened up a 10-point gap between themselves and the chasing pack, while the visitors are second bottom and already seven points from safety.
We say: FC Volendam 1-3 PSV Eindhoven
Despite drawing their last two away games, it is difficult to see PSV losing this match against a side that has lost eight (D1 L1) of their last 10 league games and were comfortably beaten in the reverse fixture. We are expecting a one-sided match here and fancy the visitors to ease to victory.

Feyenoord vs. Sparta (Sunday, 7.00pm)

A sold-out crowd at Stadion Feijenoord will witness a highly-anticipated Rotterdam derby on Sunday night, with Dutch champions Feyenoord host Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie.
The Pride of the South have enjoyed back-to-back successes over AZ Alkmaar recently, whilst Rotterdam's struggles continued against PEC Zwolle last time out.
We say: Feyenoord 2-0 Sparta Rotterdam
Form often goes out of the window during a derby clash, however Feyenoord's positive run of late is too good to ignore, and the hosts should be confident of earning maximum points.
The hostile home of their local rivals would be a perfect place for Sparta to get their top-eight aims back on track, although we cannot envisage anything other than a loss for the visitors on Sunday.
