Groningen vs. Sparta (Saturday, 3.30pm)
Two teams who were on the receiving end of heavy defeats in round 11 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season will do battle on Saturday evening, as Groningen welcome Sparta Rotterdam to Euroborg.
The hosts fell to a humiliating 6-0 defeat at the hands of NEC Nijmegen last time around, while their visitors were comprehensively thrashed 4-1 by FC Utrecht.
We say: Groningen 1-1 Sparta Rotterdam
There is little to choose between the teams heading into this weekend's contest, which could easily swing either way, and consequently, we are backing a share of the spoils come the sound of the final whistle.
PEC Zwolle vs. Sittard (Saturday, 5.45pm)
Aiming to end a run of five matches without a victory, PEC Zwolle entertain the challenge of Fortuna Sittard at the MAC³PARK Stadion on Saturday in matchday 12 of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season.
The away side, on the other hand, make the journey this weekend seeking to continue their recent resurgence having won four of their last five matches across all competitions.
We say: PEC Zwolle 1-2 Fortuna Sittard
Fortuna Sittard are the more in-form side heading into this one, but Zwolle will be expected to pose a stern test in front of their fans nonetheless.
We can see the away side coming out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.
NAC Breda vs. PSV (Saturday, 7.00pm)
Having recently suffered a first league loss of the campaign, Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven head to the Rat Verlegh on Saturday to face off against NAC Breda.
For the hosts, securing a positive result from this weekend's clash will be the major objective following a second straight defeat in their most recent outing.
We say: NAC Breda 1-4 PSV Eindhoven
PSV turned on the style in midweek to comfortably see off Girona 4-0, and we are expecting another commanding performance this weekend en route to a routine victory when all is said and done here.
RKC Waalwijk vs. Nijmegen (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Fresh from picking up a long-awaited first league win of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season, RKC Waalwijk will play host to NEC at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday.
Like their hosts, the away side were also victorious in their last outing and will head into this weekend's clash looking to pick up where they left off.
We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-1 NEC
Still buoyed by their victory over Almere, Waalwijk will heavily fancy their chances of coming away with maximum points against an opposing outfit who have often been found wanting on enemy territory.
That said, we can see the teams cancelling each other out to settle for a point apiece in the end.
