Off the back of a first Eredivisie win of the 2022-23 season, Fortuna Sittard play host to FC Volendam at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the visitors make the journey to Sittard-Geleen aiming to end a dismal run of form which has seen them fail to win any of their last four games.
We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-0 FC Volendam
Buoyed by a much-needed victory last time out, Fortuna will head into this one with the wind in their sails and look to pick up where they left off. We are backing them to come away with all three points in what should be a close contest.

Matchday eight of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season sees SBV Excelsior entertain the challenge of FC Utrecht at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Sunday.
Having both failed to secure all three points in the respective last outings, the teams set out to get back to winning ways in Rotterdam this weekend.
We say: SBV Excelsior 1-2 FC Utrecht
Given their record in this fixture as well as squad quality, Utrecht are huge favourites to secure the points at the end of the 90 minutes here, and we tip them to just about get the job done.

Having suffered a first league defeat of the season in their most recent outing, Feyenoord visit the Goffertstadion on Sunday to face off against NEC.
On the other hand, the home side will be looking to end a run of five games without a win since their only victory of the 2022-23 campaign back in August.
We say: NEC 1-3 Feyenoord
With a combined 13 goals scored across their four away league outings so far, Feyenoord will look to run riot on enemy territory once again, and we can see them cruising to a routine victory come the sound of the final whistle here.

RKC Waalwijk welcome Sparta Rotterdam to the Mandemakers Stadion in gameweek eight of the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign on Saturday afternoon.
Fresh off the back of returning to winning ways last time out, the teams head into the encounter on a high, and that should make for an exciting watch.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 2-1 Sparta Rotterdam
Following poor starts to the current campaign, the teams have turned a corner in recent weeks and will be feeling good about themselves heading into this one. We are anticipating a fairly even match with the home side narrowly edging out their visitors in the end.

This weekend's Eredivisie action concludes at De Oude Meerdijk in Emmen, as the second-tier champions host Heerenveen on Sunday night.
After four successive defeats, Emmen found themselves bottom of the Eredivisie table going into the international break.
We say: Emmen 0-2 Heerenveen
Emmen will hope the international break has given them a chance to reset and knuckle down on the training ground, but they are facing a Heerenveen side who have been tough to beat, and have kept clean sheets in four of their seven matches so far.
With some first-choice players back in contention to feature, Heerenveen will feel in a strong position to continue their good start to the season against a side lacking in confidence after some heavy defeats.
