    Eredivisie round 6

    PSV v Roda
    Twente v Utrecht
    Heerenveen v Groningen
    Den Haag v AZ
    Willem II v Feyenoord
    Ajax v NAC
    VVV Venlo v Heracles
    Sparta v Waalwijk
    Vitesse v NEC

    Back to domestic action after the Oranje's stroll to South Africa was completed in midweek and top billing goes to the game in Enschede where Utrecht travel to take on Twente. There'll be no Steve McClaren on the bench for Twente as he picked up a one-match ban before the international break for going onto the field to remonstrate with the officials in the game against Feyenoord. Michel Vorm was the Oranje star on Wednesday, the Utrecht keeper coming up with a string of saves of the very highest quality and he'll be in goal for unbeaten Utrecht. Twente aren't getting the goals and that's a worry. Score draw.

    Ajax and PSV are both at home and are short odds to register wins against NAC and Roda respectively. Feyenoord are in Tilburg, taking on the unpredictable Willem II. AZ go to the governmental capital to take on Den Haag. All should come away with the points.

    The Abe Lenstra in Heerenveen sees the two biggest underachievers so far face off for ultimate underachieving anti-glory when Groningen come to town and can the entertaining VVV Venlo register a win at home to Heracles? Star man Keisuke Honda has already spoken of how he'd love to play for PSV - the fabled come and get me plea - and if he goes, VVV are sunk. For now though, they have him and they're bloody lucky. NEC go to Arnhem to take on Vitesse and Sparta go to pointless - as in they have no points - Waalwijk. Both of these look like early relegation battles.
