Aiming to avoid a third league defeat on the bounce, Groningen entertain the challenge of Heerenveen on Sunday in round 26 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season.
Meanwhile, the away side make the trip to Euroborg in search of what would be only a first victory in five matches across all competitions.
We say: Groningen 0-1 Heerenveen
Both teams have struggled for goals in recent weeks, so we are anticipating a nervy and cagey match. That said, we can also see the visitors just about edging out their hosts to claim all three points come the sound of the full-time whistle.

Ajax host Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon in the latest edition of De Klassieker between the Eredivisie's leading duo.
Sitting three points behind their fierce Rotterdam rivals at the division's summit, Ajax have enjoyed a free week to prepare for this lofty clash, while Feyenoord warmed up with a 7-1 mauling of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League on Thursday night.
We say: Ajax 3-2 Feyenoord
Ajax have not been top of the Eredivisie since November and the onus is on the hosts to go for the win to climb above their bitter rivals, while Feyenoord can rest on the knowledge that a draw would be enough to maintain their three-point advantage.
As has been proven countless times before, anything can happen in De Klasseiker but Ajax, with that extra rest and the Johan Cruyff Arena roaring them on, have the slight edge going into a high-stakes iteration of this timeless rivalry.

Avoiding a sixth consecutive defeat will the major objective for SBV Excelsior when they welcome Cambuur to Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Sunday.
Similarly, the visiting team also head into this weekend's contest on a bad run results having come out on top in just one of their last seven matches.
We say: SBV Excelsior 1-1 Cambuur
There is little separating the teams ahead of Sunday's encounter which could easily swing either way and we are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

Two teams in highly contrasting forms face off in round 26 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season as Vitesse welcome PSV Eindhoven to GelreDome on Sunday.
The hosts set out to avoid defeat number five in a row, while their visitors will be looking to make it six wins in a row across all competitions.
We say: Vitesse 1-3 PSV Eindhoven
PSV will head into this one with the wind in their sails and unsurprisingly so given recent results. Vitesse, on the other hand, are currently on a downward spiral, and we fancy PSV to cruise to a relatively comfortable win in this one.

Round 26 of the 2022-23 Eredivisie season concludes with a meeting between two of the top five as FC Twente and AZ Alkmaar lock horns at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday.
The home side will go in search of back to back victories having returned to winning ways last time out, while the visitors seek to record a sixth triumph in a row.
We say: FC Twente 2-2 AZ Alkmaar
AZ head into the clash on a better run of results but Twente have repeatedly shown how tough to beat they are on home turf. We expect a highly-entertaining affair here with goals at both ends and honours even come the end of the 90 minutes.
