NAC Breda and PEC Zwolle square off on Sunday knowing that whoever prevails will highly likely secure their top-flight status for another 12 months.
The 14th and 15th-placed sides in the Eredivisie table currently hold a sizeable lead over the relegation playoff spot with four matches remaining.
We say: NAC Breda 1-1 PEC Zwolle
Despite the advantage that they have over the bottom three, there will be a few nerves on show for this contest. With that in mind, and aware that a share of the spoils would still be a positive result, we are backing a low-scoring draw on Sunday.

Two weeks since facing off in the KNVB Beker final, Go Ahead Eagles and AZ Alkmaar are set to meet again on Sunday afternoon in a crucial Eredivisie clash at De Adelaarshorst.
Both these sides are level on 47 points, and while neither will be able to finish in the top four this season, fifth through seventh are separated by just one point with four games left to play.
We say: Go Ahead Eagles 1-1 AZ Alkmaar
Go Ahead Eagles have the psychological advantage coming into this contest, but there is very little to separate these sides on paper, with both level on 47 points, while the two matches they have faced off in this season have ended level in regulation time.
AZ would love nothing more than to get their revenge in this match, but they are winless in their last seven league games, and we feel they will have to settle for a share of the spoils in this one.

Sparta Rotterdam will be looking to continue their late-season push up the Eredivisie table when they play host to FC Twente at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts have been in sensational form over the last couple of months, but have not beaten this opponent in their last 10 attempts dating back to December 2020.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 FC Twente
Sparta Rotterdam have been in excellent form over the last two months and enter this match unbeaten in seven league games, while Twente are winless in their last five since the middle of March.
The hosts have also won four of their last five home games (D1), and we feel they will add to that tally with another three points in this one.
