3505

After 9 rounds of fixtures, AFC Ajax remain on the top of the table, 2 points clear to the second - Vitesse Arnhem. The other teams in top 4 aren’t much behind and will do their best to catch up this weekend.

FC Emmen - AFC Ajax

FC Emmen will try to push away from the relegation zone this Saturday, when they host AFC Ajax at their JenS Vesting Stadion.

The home side are in an unfortunate spell of 4 straight league losses and don’t have much of a chance against their upcoming opponent. The league leaders - AFC Ajax are clearly the favourites and they should record an easy victory.

• FC Emmen have achieved just 1 win in their 12 most recent games in Eredivisie.
• In their 5 most recent matches in Eredivisie, AFC Ajax have won by 3+ goals.
• FC Emmen have conceded at least one goal in their last 10 league games.
• AFC Ajax are on a run of 26 wins in their last 33 league games.
• Prediction: AFC Ajax @ 1.25

VVV Venlo - PEC Zwolle

This weekend, PEC Zwolle travel to face VVV Venlo in a clash from the lower part of the standing.

Both teams are level on points (8) and are showing pretty similar results lately. The away side have a slightly better goal difference, which has helped them occupy the 11th spot, although VVV Venlo have won more fixtures than PEC Zwolle this season.

• For VVV Venlo there have been 4 draws in 8 home matches in Eredivisie.
• PEC Zwolle have drawn at half time/full time in 4 of their 8 most recent away games of Eredivisie.
• VVV Venlo have won just 1 of their last 8 league games.
• PEC Zwolle have drawn in 4 of their 5 most recent games of Eredivisie.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.40

Vitesse Arnhem - Fortuna Sittard

Vitesse Arnhem have a great opportunity to leapfrog Ajax this Sunday, when they host the bottom placed team of Fortuna Sittard at their GelreDome.

The home side are performing quite solidly so far, as they have won 5 of their last 6 fixtures. However, the same cannot be said for Fortuna Sittard, who are yet to register a win this season.

• Vitesse Arnhem are unbeaten in their last 6 Eredivisie games.
• In their last 18 games in Eredivisie, Fortuna Sittard have a poor record of just 1 win.
• Vitesse Arnhem have won 5 consecutive home games in Eredivisie.

• Prediction: Vitesse Arnhem @ 1.35

PSV Eindhoven - Sparta Rotterdam

In another interesting encounter this weekend, Sparta Rotterdam travel to face PSV Eindhoven.

The home side are 4 points below the league leaders, but have plenty of time to move up in the table. Sparta Rotterdam will try to continue their recent winning streak and improve their shaky performance from the beginning of the season.

• PSV Eindhoven have not suffered any defeats in their 11 most recent home Eredivisie matches.
• Sparta Rotterdam have won only 2 of their last 15 away Eredivisie matches.
• PSV Eindhoven have succeeded in winning 11 of their 14 most recent home matches in Eredivisie.
