Utrecht vs. Heerenveen (Saturday, 5.45pm)
In search of an immediate response to a heavy loss last time out, FC Utrecht welcome Heerenveen to the Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday.
The away side make the journey also looking to return to winning ways fresh off the back of a third defeat in four league outings.
We say: FC Utrecht 2-1 Heerenveen
Utrecht have flown out of the blocks this term and should not feel too disheartened by their humbling at the hands of AZ last time out. We are backing them to claim all three points in this one, albeit by only a narrow margin, come the full-time whistle.

PEC Zwolle vs. Heracles (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Winless in their opening nine games of the 2021-22 Eredivisie season, PEC Zwolle welcome Heracles to the MAC³PARK Stadion on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to bounce back from a defeat last time out which saw their winless run on the road this term extend further.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-2 Heracles
Zwolle have started the season horrendously and Heracles are the latest team to try to take advantage. We expect a close and end-to-end affair with a narrow win for the away side at the end of the 90 minutes.

Two sides in dire need of a victory face off at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday when RKC Waalwijk play host to fellow strugglers Sparta Rotterdam.
Both teams have only managed one league victory apiece this term and currently find themselves in the lower echelons of the Eredivisie table.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1- 1 Sparta Rotterdam
Neither team has made an ideal start to the campaign and securing all three points here could be a turning point. We are predicting the sides to cancel each other out, resulting in a share of the spoils.
