PSV Eindhoven will be seeking to close the gap on league leaders Feyenoord this weekend when they welcome Go Ahead Eagles to the Philips Stadion on Saturday.
Both sides are looking to make amends after suffering defeats in midweek - the hosts' title bid was dealt a blow in a shock defeat to Emmen, while the visitors were comfortably beaten by AZ Alkmaar.
We say: PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Go Ahead Eagles
This should be a comfortable victory for PSV Eindhoven, despite their shock defeat to Emmen in midweek.
The Boeren's home form has been sensational this season, and despite the best efforts of Go Ahead Eagles, PSV should be too strong here.

The Eredivisie action continues this weekend as RKC Waalwijk welcome Emmen to the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday.
The hosts are in search of a much-needed victory after just one win in 10 games across all competitions, while the visitors will be looking to put some space between themselves and the relegation places with a victory here.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 2-0 Emmen
Both teams will be happy with the results they managed to secure in midweek, but Emmen's away form makes us favour the home side for this clash.
RKC Waalwijk have scored 18 goals in eight home games so far this season, so we think they will have enough quality to secure all three points here.

Matchday 19 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season sees NEC entertain the challenge of Sparta Rotterdam at Stadion de Goffert on Saturday evening.
The home side set out to return to winning ways off the back of a first defeat of the year, while their visitors seek to stretch their three-game unbeaten run.
We say: NEC 1-1 Sparta Rotterdam
Sparta have been extremely frugal at the defensive end of the pitch recently, but we expect NEC to get on the scoresheet here. We can also see the teams nullifying the threat of each other en route to a share of the spoils.

Heerenveen will be aiming to move into the Eredivisie's top seven with a victory this weekend when they welcome Vitesse to the Abe Lenstra Stadion.
The hosts will have the chance to bounce back from defeat midweek at the first time of asking, while the visitors are without a victory in eight league games.
We say: Heerenveen 2-0 Vitesse
Heerenveen have enjoyed recent success against Vitesse, and with the visitors struggling for form, we can see the hosts claiming all three points here.
Vitesse have only kept one clean sheet in their last eight league outings, so we can see Heerenveen having some joy in front of goal in this encounter.

AZ Alkmaar will be looking to continue their near-perfect start to 2023 when they welcome FC Utrecht to the AFAS Stadion on Saturday evening.
On the other hand, the away side make the journey seeking to pick up back to back victories for the first time since the turn of the year.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-1 FC Utrecht
AZ Alkmaar are firing on all cylinders at the moment, and it is hard to envisage any other result rather than a home victory. That said, we expect FC Utrecht to put up a decent fight, giving rise to an absorbing affair.
