    Eredivisie round 8

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

    Wednesday:
    NEC v Utrecht

    It's a big week for Utrecht this week as they take on the champions at home before playing their catch-up game against NEC in midweek. Having lost just once so far this season, they sit four points off the league lead. A maximum haul from these two games and they're right back in the thick of it. And it's a distinct possibility. AZ aren't pulling up the trees and NEC just aren't particularly special. There's more chance of the Nijmegeners getting something from Sunday's game against Heracles then there is against Utrecht.

    Feyenoord should get back to winning ways at Breda, Ajax can add yet more goals against the obdurate Den Haag, PSV are big favourites at home to Willem II and Twente will fancy themselves at home to entertainers VVV Venlo. VVV are just coming into some tough fixtures in a row after that flamboyant start, but these next few weeks will see whether they're in it doe the long haul.

    Waalwijk still can't buy a win and Roda will look to take advantage and there are two contenders for dullest game of the season where Sparta take on Heerenveen and Vitesse go to Groningen. Four poor sides there and it's difficult to even see a goal in either match.
