Ajax preview: Looking for easy points to keep up with PSV
After the first half of the Eredivisie season, Ajax have managed to stay relatively close to the reigning champions PSV since they're currently just six points behind them. With 39 points from 17 matches, Ajax have done very well, but they've been particularly impressive at home where they recorded seven wins and one draw, so their fans can feel optimistic ahead of their duel with the last-placed RKC Waalwijk.
Meanwhile, Gaston Avila, Sivert Mannsverk, Benjamin Tahirovic, and Amourricho Van Axel-Dongen are out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Pasveer (GK), Gaaei, Rugani, Baas, Rensch, Henderson, Klaassen, Hato, Taylor, Weghorst & Akpom

RKC Waalwijk preview: Still stuck to the bottom of the table
With just seven points from the first 17 games of the season, RKC Waalwijk sit in the last place in the standings and they are one of the primary candidates for relegation. That being said, they are also just five points behind Sparta Rotterdam who are in a spot that leads to relegation playoffs instead of direct relegation and seven points behind safety, so there's still plenty of time for RKC to turn their season around.
Yanick van Osch, Richard Van Der Venne, Juan Familia-Castillo, Dario Van Den Buijs, and Daouda Weidmann are all on the team's injury list ahead of this match.
Predicted lineup: Kesting (GK), Al Mazyani, Van Eijma, Van Gelderen, Wouters, Oukili, Roemeratoe, Van der Water, Ihattaren, Margaret & Zawada

Player to watch: Wout Weghorst
With his experience and skills, Weghorst has been able to push Ajax towards second place in the league after the first half of the season and, hopefully, into an exciting title race. The 32-year-old forward has six goals in the Eredivisie this season, so he's our player to watch against RKC.
