The match between NEC and AZ is also important for Ajax. If the home team wins, the Nijmegen team will climb over Ajax in the rankings. Number four AZ seems to have definitively won fourth place with a win. PEC Zwolle and Heracles Almelo both have 32 points after thirty games. Both teams will do everything they can to reach the magical limit of 34 points in the match.
RKC Waalwijk must beat FC Utrecht at home to get above the safe line. The Brabanders are currently sixteenth with 24 points. FC Utrecht, on the other hand, is still competing for a play-off ticket for European football. Furthermore, Sparta Rotterdam, which is also in a play-off spot, will take on number seventeen FC Volendam at home. Relegant Vitesse, which was recently deducted eighteen points, will play against Fortuna Sittard at home.
