FC Utrecht will go in search of three league victories on the bounce for the first time since the turn of the year when they welcome NEC to the Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday afternoon.
Having claimed a 2-1 victory in November’s reverse meeting, the hosts have the opportunity to complete a league double over their visitors, who will have one eye on exacting revenge.
We say: FC Utrecht 2-1 NEC
Both teams have had trouble keeping opponents at bay of late, and we expect neither of them to come away with a clean sheet.
That said, we are also backing Utrecht to make home advantage count and get the job done at the end of the 90 minutes.

A huge clash at the bottom of the Eredivisie table sees Sparta Rotterdam and PEC Zwolle go head-to-head at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday evening.
With the sides currently separated by just one point in the league standings, neither will want to come away empty-handed from this weekend’s meeting in Rotterdam.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 PEC Zwolle
Given what is at stake here, we are expecting a keenly contested affair with a plethora of chances at both ends.
That said, we can also see Sparta just about doing enough to edge out Zwolle and come away with maximum points.

With their Eredivisie title hopes now hanging by a thread, PSV Eindhoven will go in search of a crucial victory when they head to the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday to face off against RKC Waalwijk.
While the visitors are running out of time to defend their league crown, the home side are currently up against it in the battle for survival and have little margin for error from here on out.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-3 PSV Eindhoven
PSV have been far from their best of late but still possess more than enough quality to see off Waalwijk.
We fully expect the away side to cruise to a routine win when all is said and done.

Heerenveen and Heracles will draw the curtain on Saturday’s round of matches in gameweek 26 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season with a meeting at the Abe Lenstra Stadion.
Both teams head into this one off the back of respective defeats last time out and will be keen to secure an immediate return to winning ways this weekend.
We say: Heerenveen 1-1 Heracles
There is little to pick between Saturday’s opponents, and the clash could really swing either way, so we are backing the teams to cancel each other out and settle for a point apiece in the end.
