Doetinchem, Netherlands (My Sportsbook) - A number of things have already been decided as the Dutch Eredivisie enters its final weekend, with AZ Alkmaar having already clinched the league title and Twente locking up the other Champions League spot last weekend, but there is still plenty of drama as the relegation battle features five teams that could still finish in the bottom three.
And no game looms larger in that scrap than the match featuring 17th-placed Volendam traveling to 16th-placed Graafschap with the two sides separated by just one point.
Graafschap has been on a good run of form to give themselves a chance at survival as they have lost only two of their last eight games, while Volendam has matched that mark in the hopes of avoiding being sent back down in their first year back in the top flight.
Roda has fallen to the bottom of the table after taking just two points from its last five games, and they now face a must-win at Feyenoord, which can clinch a spot in the Europa League playoffs with a win.
Den Haag is above the bottom three on only goal difference, but they can secure their safety if they come away with three points against a Vitesse side that can still sneak into European competition.
Heracles is two points clear of 16th place but a home loss to Utrecht coupled with a few results that don't go their way would leave the team in a relegation playoff, while Utrecht will have plenty of incentive because they must win to keep their European hopes alive.
The top of the table has much less drama with AZ Alkmaar finishing off its championship campaign at home against Heerenveen, which can still sneak into the top four, while PSV Eindhoven will finish at least fourth if they win at Willem II.
Twente's visit to Ajax looked like it would decide second place, but Ajax lost 4-0 to Sparta last weekend, ensuring that they will finish no higher than third. The loss also may have contributed to the resignation of manager Marco Van Basten, who stepped down on Wednesday after only 10 months at the club.
Groningen has no incentive when they host an NAC side that is looking to hang onto its spot in the top eight while NEC and Sparta square off in a game with little meaning for either side.
