Two weeks are left on the schedule of the regular season in the Dutch Hoofdklasse. After last week’s sweep by DOOR NEPTUNUS against L&D AMSTERDAM it is safe to say, that the club from Rotterdam already can start preparations for the playoffs, as they bolster a four-game lead over second place and are six ahead of CORENDON KINHEIM. However behind them everything is wide open. AMSTERDAM, KONICA MINOLTA PIONIERS, SPARTA/FEYENOORD and KINHEIM battle for the three remain berths, being separated by two games.
SPARTA/FEYENOORD has the toughest job this week, facing NEPTUNUS in a three-game series and having to play the make-up game against KINHEIM next Tuesday. The club from Haarlem can reduce the deficit in a series against ADO. The PIONIERS take on MR COCKER HCAW and the PIRATES play against MEDIA MONKS RCH.
