Two teams looking to steer clear of the drop zone face off in matchday 25 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season as Emmen welcome SBV Excelsior to De Oude Meerdijk on Saturday.
The hosts set out to avoid a seventh defeat in eight matches, while their visitors will be aiming to end a run of seven games without a victory.
We say: Emmen 1-0 SBV Excelsior
The teams have been largely underwhelming in front of goal of late, so a low-scoring affair could be on the cards here. That said, we are backing the home side to narrowly come out on top at the end of the 90 minutes.

Having ended a run of consecutive defeats last time out, Fortuna Sittard entertain the challenge of FC Twente at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion on Saturday.
On the other hand, the away side will be looking to arrest a slump in form which has seen them fail to win any of their last three outings.
We say: Fortuna Sittard 0-1 FC Twente
Twente have endured a rough patch of late but still boast enough quality all over the pitch to get the job done here. We fancy the visitors to come out victorious come the sound of the full-time whistle.

Aiming to make it four wins in a row, AZ Alkmaar prepare for the visit of Groningen to the AFAS Stadion in round 25 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season.
The away side make the journey this weekend looking to record what would be only a second victory across all competitions since the turn of the year.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-1 Groningen
Buoyed by their European triumph in midweek, AZ will head into this weekend's contest with a spring in their step. We fancy the home side to stroll to a routine victory here, scoring plenty of goals en route.

European-chasing Sparta Rotterdam welcome Vitesse to Het Kasteel on Saturday night for an intriguing Eredivisie clash.
The visitors come into the encounter with relegation fears again following a poor run of form.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Vitesse
Sparta will have renewed confidence after their big win last week, while Vitesse are in the middle of a rut and could fall even further down the standings this weekend.
