Willem II will be hoping to bring an end to their dismal run of form in the Eredivisie this weekend when they travel to Goffertstadion to face NEC Nijmegen on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts enter the weekend’s fixture with 33 points and in 13th place after 30 games, while the visitors are in the sole relegation playoff spot with 24 points over the same period.
We say: NEC 2-1 Willem II
While NEC have experienced a major drop-off compared to the dizzying heights they reached last season, they have been a difficult team to beat at home, losing only one of their last seven games at Goffertstadion.
Willem II, on the other hand, have been in freefall since the start of the year, winless in their last 13 games, and we feel they will struggle to take anything from this one as well.

Feyenoord will be out to extend their impressive run of results in the Eredivisie this weekend, when they head to Asito Stadion to take on Heracles on Saturday afternoon.
The race for the Champions League qualifiers spot is red-hot with Feyenoord and Utrecht level on 62 points each, but De Stadionclub have a game in hand on the Domstedelingen.
We say: Heracles 1-2 Feyenoord
While Heracles have been excellent at home this season, conceding only two defeats in 15 games, they will be without their two first-choice attackers for this game in Jizz Hornkamp and Thomas Bruns.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, have a laundry list of injury absentees, yet they have been rattling off wins almost with ease under the guidance of Robin van Persie, and we feel they will come out on top in this one as well.

Groningen will be hoping to build on their big win last weekend when they play host to RKC Waalwijk at Euroborg in the Eredivisie on Saturday afternoon.
A victory for the hosts could see them end the weekend in the top half of the league standings, while three points for the visitors will lift them off the bottom of the table.
We say: Groningen 1-0 RKC Waalwijk
RKC are winless in their last eight league games, six of which ended in defeat, and they have the joint-worst away record in the top flight, with just seven points earned on the road this term.
Groningen are entering this match off the back of a very impressive victory over Heracles last week, which took them to 26 points from 15 home games this season – the eighth-best record in the division – and we feel they will add another three points to their tally in this one.

Saturday’s final match in the Eredivisie brings us a top-half clash at the Philips Stadion, where title contenders PSV Eindhoven will be playing host to ninth-placed Fortuna Sittard.
With Ajax not scheduled to play a league match this weekend, PSV will be able to pull within four points of the league leaders if they secure a victory in this fixture.
We say: PSV Eindhoven 3-0 Fortuna Sittard
Every match from here is a must-win for PSV, and they enter this one riding a three-match win streak and in good goal-scoring form. The hosts have not lost to this opponent in over 25 years, and we feel they will add another win to that record this weekend.
