AFC Ajax Amsterdam and Fortuna Sittard will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 25 clash on Sunday.
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw at home to Aston Villa in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League round-of-16 tie in midweek.
Ajax will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last game came in a routine 2-0 home win over Utrecht.
Fortuna Sittard, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 5-2 home win over Excelsior. Kaj Serhuis was the star of the show as he scored a hat-trick in the first half while Justin Lonwijk and Rodrigo Guth also found the back of the net.
The victory saw them climb to 11th spot in the table, having garnered 30 points from 24 games. Ajax remain in fifth spot with 39 points to show for their efforts in 24 games.

AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs Fortuna Prediction
AFC Ajax Amsterdam have had a disappointing campaign to this point. This is exemplified by their goalless draw against Fortuna in the reverse fixture (where their hosts missed a penalty). The capital side impressively held on for a draw against an in-form Aston Villa in midweek and will be expected to cruise to all three points here.
Fortuna Sittard are heavy underdogs in this game but their hosts' indifferent form means they might fancy their hopes of getting something here.
We are backing Ajax to claim maximum points with a routine victory and clean sheet.
