Groningen vs. Heerenveen (Sunday, 1.30pm)
Looking to bounce back from respective defeats last time out, Groningen and Heerenveen face off at the Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadium on Sunday.
The home side were beaten by 5-2 PSV Eindhoven on August 28, while the visitors fell to a 3-1 loss against AZ Alkmaar the following day.
We say: Groningen 2-1 Heerenveen
As recent meetings suggest, games between Sunday's opponents are usually tight and either side could end up claiming all three points in this one. Groningen failed to pick up a victory in their last game on home turf, but we are tipping them to do so this time around, albeit by the narrowest of margins.

RKC Waalwijk and Vitesse draw the curtain on matchday three of the Eredivisie season with their meeting at the Mandemakers Stadion on Sunday.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-2 Vitesse
Both teams are on a rough patch at the moment and a victory here for either side would be a very welcome result. We are anticipating an open and end-to-end match with the away side just edging their hosts by a narrow margin.
