FC Utrecht will continue their hunt for a top-three spot in the 2024-25 Eredivisie season when they welcome Heerenveen to Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday.
The away side battled hard to force a share of the spoils in the reverse fixture between the sides and will be looking to go one better this weekend.
We say: FC Utrecht 3-1 Heerenveen
This fixture has often delivered huge entertainment value in recent years, and we expect more of the same this weekend.
That said, we are also backing the home side to emerge victorious at the end of the 90 minutes.

Heracles will welcome FC Twente to the Asito Stadion on Sunday for an important game at both ends of the Eredivisie table.
The visitors sit a single point outside the top four, while their hosts lead the relegation playoff place by four points.
We say: Heracles 1-1 FC Twente
Boosted by an upturn in form before the international break, and boasting a particularly strong home record having not been beaten at the Asito Stadion in over five months, we back Heracles to take a share of the spoils against a dangerous FC Twente side on Sunday.

PSV vs. Ajax (Sunday, 1.30pm)

The Eredivisie returns this weekend after a two-week break, and a blockbuster De Topper clash is on the cards this Sunday, when PSV Eindhoven play host to Ajax at Philips Stadion.
Both these sides will now have their sights solely set on winning the league this season, having crashed out of the European competitions ahead of the international break.
We say: PSV Eindhoven 2-2 Ajax
While PSV have experienced a notable dip in league form over the last couple of months, they have still maintained their unbeaten record at home this season and will know that a win here will be crucial to their hopes of regaining the lead in the league standings.
Ajax were absolutely flying in the Eredivisie before the international break, and while they would likely love nothing more than to take all three points in this contest, we feel there will be nothing to split these two on the scoreline at the final whistle.

Feyenoord vs. Go Ahead Eagles (Sunday, 3.45pm)

Stadion Feijenoord will host a six-pointer in the Eredivisie's race for European football when Feyenoord take on Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday.
De Stadionclub will be hoping to get back on track after their impressive win last time out, while the Pride of IJssel Kowet will be aiming to make it five victories on the bounce this weekend.
We say: Feyenoord 3-1 Go Ahead Eagles
Neither side are in the strongest defensive form at the moment, so expect both teams to be on the scoresheet this weekend.
However, the hosts will take confidence from their new boss' major win last time out, and with some time to settle in at Stadion Feijenood, Van Persie is likely to get his second victory on Sunday.
