    Eredivisie round 9

    Wednesday:
    NEC 1-1 Utrecht

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

    It's derby time on the German border when Twente make the short trip from Enschede to Almelo to take on Heracles. Twente are playing by far the better football and will be confident of taking the points and they need them to maintain their position at the sharp end. They're currently level at the top with PSV who go to Utrecht who blew the chance to go within two points of the Eindhoveners on Wednesday when they blew a lead in Nijmegen to end level. Ajax will no doubt add another tranche of goals in the 'for' column in Kerkrade while Waalwijk's joy at getting off the mark looks like ending quickly when they go to De Kuip.

    AZ have slipped right off the pace and a disappointing home draw with Standard LiƩge in midweek won't have helped the mood in Alkmaar. NAC aren't a great side, but the way AZ are going, they'll fancy an upset. Elsewhere, things look bleak. VVV can get back to winning ways at Heerenveen, but the games between Vitesse and Sparta, Den Haag and Groningen and Willem II against NEC will only interest their respective fans. Nothing for the neutral there.
