Two teams currently undergoing a rough patch will be looking to turn their fortunes around as FC Utrecht welcome Go Ahead Eagles to Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday.
The home side have won just one of their last six matches, while the visitors head into this weekend's clash on a run of one victory in five outings.
We say: FC Utrecht 2-1 Go Ahead Eagles
Both teams have endured defensive frailties of late, and we can expect neither of them to come away from this one without being breached. That said, Utrecht boast more quality in key areas, and we are tipping them to get the job done come the end of the 90 minutes.

Albeit for very different reasons, Emmen and Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to record a crucial victory in their encounter at De Oude Meerdijk on Saturday.
For the home side, exacting revenge on their visitors will also be on the agenda off the back of a 4-1 defeat in October's reverse fixture.
We say: Emmen 1-1 Sparta Rotterdam
Sparta have had the upper hand in this fixture of late, but they have not claimed an away win over their hosts since 2015. We are backing a share of the spoils with the teams settling for a point apiece come the end of the 90 minutes.

Separated by just one point in the standings, RKC Waalwijk and NEC go head-to-head at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday in round 26 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season.
Having both failed to come out on top in their respective most recent involvements, the teams head into this weekend's clash in need of a lift.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-1 NEC
NEC boast arguably the better of the two squads, but Waalwijk's home record suggests this weekend's contest will be anything but straightforward. We are backing the teams to cancel each other out over the course of the 90 minutes and come away with honours even in the end.
