VVV-Venlo head into Saturday's fixture with Heracles having dropped into the Eredivisie relegation zone, a consequence of Emmen's remarkable run of form since the turn of the year.
While the home side sit in eighth position in the standings, they remain just four points above 13th-placed PEC Zwolle.
We say: Heracles 2-0 VVV-Venlo
While Venlo have improved defensively in recent games, it has taken something away from their efforts in the final third.
With the visitors struggling to find the right balance, we expect Heracles to record a comfortable win on Saturday.

Fortuna Sittard prepare for the visit of FC Twente on Saturday as they seek to pick up consecutive league victories for the first time in over two months.
Meanwhile, the away team are looking to end a poor run of form which has seen them not win any of their last eight matches.
We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-1 FC Twente
With the teams level on points, the game is a perfect opportunity for either side to steal a march on the other. We are predicting a close affair in this one and in the end, a point apiece for both sides.

Vitesse vs. PEC Zwolle (Saturday, 7.00pm)
PEC Zwolle visit GelreDome on Saturday to square up against Vitesse with three consecutive wins on the horizon for the first time in the current campaign.
The home side, on the other hand, are yet to lose an Eredivisie game since February 21, picking up 15 points from seven outings in that time.
We say: Vitesse 2-0 PEC Zwolle
Vitesse have been defensively solid at home this term as they have conceded the fewest number of goals on their own turf. While we are backing them to record another clean sheet on their own patch, we also expect them to have the wherewithal at the other end of the pitch to get themselves on the scoresheet and bag all three points.

AZ Alkmaar travel to the Mandemakers Stadion to face RKC Waalwijk on Saturday, seeking to bounce back from a defeat last time out which ended their four-game winning streak.
The hosts have lost each of their last three matches, and they face an uphill task of avoiding defeat against a side who they last beat in 2013.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-3 AZ Alkmaar
Prior to their defeat against the league leaders, AZ were firing on all cylinders both home and away. We expect Saturday's visitors to put that loss behind them and bounce back with a convincing victory at full time.

Utrecht vs. Willem II (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Fresh off the back of respective victories last time out, FC Utrecht and Willem II go head-to-head at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday.
The home team are poised to complete a league double over their visitors having thrashed them 6-0 in February's reverse fixture.
We say: FC Utrecht 2-0 Willem II
Utrecht have already exhibited their superiority over Willem II this season. We expect a tougher encounter this time around, but we are still backing the home team to get the job done.
