Title challengers FC Utrecht will continue their quest for domestic glory when they visit the MAC³PARK Stadion on Saturday evening to face off against PEC Zwolle in round 21 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season.
Both teams are on a high heading into this one as the hosts go in search of a third straight victory this weekend while the away side are unbeaten since the turn of the year.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-2 FC Utrecht
Both teams will have good reason to believe they can claim all three points here which should give rise to an exciting affair.
That said, we are backing the away side to narrowly edge out their hosts and come out on top when all is said and done.

While Heerenveen and Fortuna Sittard are separated by two places in the Eredivisie table, both sides are in downbeat form entering Saturday's gameweek 21 clash at Abe Lenstra Stadion.
Notwithstanding, the 10th-placed hosts, winless in back-to-back games under Robin van Persie, could leapfrog their eighth-placed opponents, whose sequence of defeats extended to three after Sunday's 4-1 hammering by Zwolle.
We say: Heerenveen 2-1 Fortuna Sittard
Despite Heerenveen's admirable home form under Van Persie, they have scored more than two goals on their turf only against NAC Breda (4-0) in late August.
The hosts are backed to exploit Fortuna's ropey rearguard, though the Super Frisians are not expected to run away with the game.

Nijmegen vs. PSV (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Unblemished in 2025, Europe-chasing NEC welcome free-scoring Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven to Goffertstadion in Saturday's gameweek 21 action, keen to record their third straight triumph this year.
While the league-leading side recorded a third consecutive victory in all competitions against an understrength Liverpool in the Champions League, the Peasants' top-flight form has been hit-and-miss since the turn of the year, giving the hosts hope of an upset.
We say: NEC 2-3 PSV Eindhoven
Bosz's commitment to attacking football will typically see his side score and concede and the Red and Whites' pattern should produce a goal-fest at NEC.
We back the table-topping side to edge another high-scoring affair in Nijmegen to record their 10th win in the last 11 against this weekend's hosts.
