Two teams who could certainly do with a victory at the moment lock horns at Euroborg on Saturday as Groningen entertain the challenge of SBV Excelsior.
The hosts are without a win in 2023, while their visitors have won just two of nine matches across all competitions since the turn of the year.
We say: Groningen 2-1 SBV Excelsior
With two out-of-sorts teams going head-to-head, we are anticipating a nervy and tense affair here. That said, we are backing Groningen to make home advantage count and narrowly get the job done in the end.

Currently separated by just a point, Heerenveen and RKC Waalwijk face off against each other at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday evening.
Both sides emerged triumphant in their respective last outings, and they will now be looking to make it back-to-back victories this weekend.
We say: Heerenveen 2-1 RKC Waalwijk
Judging by the league table, a close encounter is on the cards, and we expect the clash to pan out that way. Nonetheless, we are tipping Heerenveen to narrowly come out on top at the end of the 90 minutes.

Looking to address their current slumps in form, AZ Alkmaar and Cambuur go head-to-head at the AFAS Stadion on Saturday in round 23 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season.
Both teams head into this weekend's encounter on a run of one win in five games across all competitions, which has seen them suffer huge blows in their respective ambitions.
We say: AZ Alkmaar 3-0 Cambuur
AZ have enjoyed the better of this fixture to a large extent, and the odds are firmly in their favour to emerge victorious once again. We expect the hosts to emerge triumphant in comfortable fashion come the sound of the full-time whistle.

Having secured morale-boosting wins last time out, NEC and FC Volendam will seek to pick up where they left off when the sides square up at Goffertstadion on Saturday.
The visitors will have one eye on exacting revenge on their hosts this weekend following a disappointing 4-1 defeat in August's reverse fixture.
We say: NEC 1-1 FC Volendam
Volendam are slightly the more in-form team heading into the clash, but NEC have been rock-solid on their own patch of late. We are backing the sides to match each other stride for stride and settle for a point apiece in the end.
