The biggest game in Dutch football takes place this weekend as Feyenoord welcome AFC Ajax Amsterdam to De Kuip for De Klassieker.
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw away to Volendam in midweek.
Ajax, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Go Ahead Eagles. They went ahead through Anton Gaaei's 24th-minute strike but Bas Kuipere drew the game level in the second minute of injury time.
The draw left the capital side in fifth spot in the Eredivisie table, having garnered 45 points from 28 games. Feyenoord are second with 66 points to their name.

Feyenoord vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam Prediction
Feyenoord's slim title hopes might have effectively been ended with their draw in midweek. However, De club aan de Maas have an opportunity to record a rare league double over their fierce rivals.
Ajax's season has been nothing to write home about. The Amsterdam outfit are guaranteed to miss out on the UEFA Champions League for the second consecutive season, having qualified in all of the preceding 13 years. Evidence of their poor campaign lies in the fact that they have conceded 49 goals this season (five more than relegation-threatened Waalwijk).
Feyenoord were totally dominant in the reverse fixture and we expect a similar level of comfort in a routine win.
