We say: Cambuur 1-1 Willem II

Separated by just two points and one place in the Eredivisie standings, RKC Waalwijk and Heracles go head to head at the Mandemakers Stadion on Wednesday.

The Katholieke will set out to return to winning ways having dropped points last time out, while the visitors will be eyeing a league double after picking up a 1-0 victory when the sides met back in September's reverse fixture.

We say: RKC Waalwijk 1-0 Heracles

Waalwijk and Heracles have endured underwhelming campaigns this season and find themselves separated by just two points in the bottom half of the table. The Heraclieden have struggled for results on the road and we predict the hosts will make use of their home advantage and claim a slender win in this one.

Sparta vs. PEC Zwolle (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

18th-placed Sparta Rotterdam and 16th-placed PEC Zwolle go head to head in a mouth-watering relegation scrap at the Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel on Wednesday.

De Kasteelheren set out to pick up a second consecutive victory which could see them move from the drop zone, while the visitors will be aiming to snap their two-game winless run and keep their slim survival hopes alive.

We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 PEC Zwolle

Given the stakes of the game, we expect a thrilling contest with both sides going all out in search of the win. However, we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

The Tukkers, on the other hand, head into the game unbeaten in each of their last seven games against the visitors and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: FC Twente 2-1 Groningen

Given Groningen's current run of results, Twente head into the game as firm favourites and will be backing themselves to come away with all three points on Wednesday. They are unbeaten in seven consecutive games against the visitors and we predict this trend will continue with the Tukkers picking up the win.
