Having recently seen their winning run come to an end, Sparta Rotterdam play host to Groningen at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the visitors go in search of consecutive wins for the first time this season off the back of securing all three points last time out.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 Groningen

Groningen have been highly porous at the back away from home, and Sparta will be aiming to take advantage of their visitors' defensive frailties. We are tipping the hosts to come out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Vitesse vs. Volendam (Saturday, 5.45pm)

Matchday seven of the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign sees Vitesse entertain the challenge of newly-promoted FC Volendam at the GelreDome on Saturday.

Off the back of respective defeats in their last outings, the teams will be looking to serve up a quick response in this weekend's clash.

We say: Vitesse 2-1 FC Volendam

Despite a poor start to the season, Vitesse should have enough in the tank to see off the threat of Volendam here, and we fancy the home side to carry the day come the final whistle in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Aiming to bounce back from defeats in their respective last outings, RKC Waalwijk play host to Cambuur at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday.

The teams are neck and neck in the Eredivisie table as it stands, and this weekend's encounter has all the makings of an enthralling affair.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 2-0 Cambuur

The teams boast similar defensive numbers heading into this one, but Waalwijk have been far more efficient at the other end, and we fancy them to carry the day come the sound of the full-time whistle here.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Sittard vs. SBV Excelsior (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Still in search of their first victory of the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign, Fortuna Sittard and SBV Excelsior face off at the Fortuna-Sittard Stadion on Saturday.

On the other hand, the away side go in search of consecutive wins having ended a three-game losing streak by coming away with all three points last time out.

We say: Fortuna Sittard 1-1 SBV Excelsior

Given their dismal start to the new campaign, the onus is more on Fortuna Sittard to seize the initiative and take charge of proceedings. That said, we are backing a share of the spoils here with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
