Heracles vs. Willem II (Saturday, 5.45pm)
Two sides who recently had their mini unbeaten streaks ended clash at the Erve Asito on Saturday when Heracles play host to Willem II.
The hosts are 9th in the Eredivisie table with 36 points, while the visitors' tally of 22 points means that they are out of the drop zone only on goal difference.
We say: Heracles 1-0 Willem II
Both sides will be looking to return to winning ways off the back of respective defeats last time out. The visitors were victorious in the last meeting between the teams, but we expect the hosts to secure the win this time by the slenderest of margins.

Sittard vs. Emmen (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Emmen are unbeaten in their last six games, and they take on Fortuna Sittard on Saturday aiming to take another step towards exiting the Eredivisie drop zone.
The hosts have picked up just three of the last 15 available points, but are still on course for their highest league finish in three years.
We say: Fortuna Sittard 2-1 Emmen
Emmen come into this one as the more in-form side, but Fortuna have been significantly better over the course of the season. We anticipate a tightly contested affair in this one, with the home team coming out on top come the final whistle.
