FC Twente welcome Heracles to the Grolsch Veste Stadium on Saturday as they seek to avoid a fifth consecutive Eredivisie loss.

Meanwhile, the away side come into the clash in search of back-to-back league triumphs for the second time in the space of a month.

We say: FC Twente 1-1 Heracles

Twente are on a poor run of form at the moment and will take anything that they can get from Saturday's game. We fancy the home side to end their losing streak by securing a hard-fought point in this one.

Heerenveen vs. Utrecht (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Aiming for a third league win on the spin, FC Utrecht travel to the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday to face Heerenveen.

On the other hand, the hosts did not taste victory in any of their last two matches, and will be looking to get back to winning ways.

We say: Heerenveen 1-2 FC Utrecht

Utrecht have been a major force to be reckoned with on the road all season long, and we are tipping them to claim yet another victory on the road, albeit by only a narrow margin this time around.

Fortuna Sittard will be gunning for three wins on the trot when they make the journey to the AFAS Stadion on Saturday to face off against AZ Alkmaar.

For AZ Alkmaar, this is an opportunity to temporarily move into second place ahead of PSV's trip to Willem II on Sunday.

We say: AZ Alkmaar 4-1 Fortuna Sittard

AZ Alkmaar are still in with a shout with respect to finishing as runners-up, but they know that anything less than three points this weekend would hamper their chances. We are backing them to secure a convincing win, scoring plenty of goals en route.

Two teams that are currently in a downward spiral square up on Saturday at De Koel where VVV-Venlo will be playing host to RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie.

The visitors have lost six of their last seven games, while the home side are on a dismal run of 11 defeats on the bounce.

We say: VVV-Venlo 1-1 RKC Waalwijk

A clash between two struggling teams usually represents a perfect opportunity for either of them to get back on track. We expect a nervy and cagey contest in this one with the points split in the end.
