RKC Waalwijk will hope to get the New Year off to a good start when they host ADO Den Haag this Saturday, after suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat against Fortuna Sittard in their last game of 2020.
Meanwhile, Den Haag are in desperate need to pick up some points, with Ruud Brood's men sitting in the relegation zone as they enter matchday 14.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-1 ADO Den Haag
Although Den Haag have come out victorious in their previous three meetings against Waalwijk, they have failed to pick up a single win since October. Both teams have also struggled to find the back of the net this season, therefore we predict a low-scoring draw this Saturday.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Emmen vs. FC Twente (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Emmen are set to welcome FC Twente on Saturday, with the home side still searching for their first win of the season, having lost 3-2 to Utrecht in their last game of the calendar year.
Twente, meanwhile, will be hoping to bounce back from their 2-0 loss against Sparta Rotterdam last time around, recording just their fourth defeat of the season.
We say: Emmen 1-3 FC Twente
Despite their recent losses, Twente should be able to secure a comfortable victory away at Emmen, with the hosts currently struggling at the bottom of the table.
Although the home side are expected to get at least one past their opponents, it is unlikely that they will be able to pick up a positive result come Saturday.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

AZ Alkmaar travel to PEC Zwolle on Saturday knowing that a victory could take them up to third in the Eredivisie table, while the hosts could climb into the top half should they manage to claim all three points.
However, John Stegeman's men have a difficult task on their hands given the fact that their visitors remain the only unbeaten team away from home this season.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-2 AZ
The visitors simply have too much firepower for the home team and should be getting all three points at the sound of the final whistle, although you can not bet against the hosts getting on the scoresheet too.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Heracles vs. Vitesse (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Heracles will be hoping to continue their good form into the New Year when they welcome Vitesse on Saturday, having picked up consecutive league wins against both Groningen and Heerenveen in their last two games.
Meanwhile, Vitesse should be keen to bounce back from their 3-1 loss against AZ Alkmaar two weeks ago, suffering just their third defeat this season.
We say: Heracles 1-2 Vitesse
Although Vitesse have been in poor form recently, they should have enough quality to pick up a win on Saturday. Heracles have picked up some positive results lately, but we expect them to struggle against a tough Vitesse side.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Utrecht vs. Groningen (Saturday, 8.00pm)
On the back of an impressive 2-2 draw versus AZ last time out, FC Utrecht host Groningen at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday.
Groningen will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 home defeat to Heracles Almelo, which brought an end to the four-match unbeaten streak that they had enjoyed prior to that.
We say: FC Utrecht 1-1 Groningen
Utrecht have improved almost as much as anyone over the past few games but, given Groningen's impressive away record, a share of the spoils looks likely here.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
