Second division: taking care of Spakenburg, IJsselmeervogels and GVVV

Last weekend, GVVV wanted to reduce the deficit on ASWH, the penultimate state, from four points to one. But after the 3-1 loss against the direct competitor, the gap is seven points. In the away match against TEC, which drew a nice draw against leader Katwijk last week, Mart de Jong and Lars ten Teije are also missing, who were shown red against ASWH and were suspended for one game.

Opponent TEC, trained by Amersfoorter Hans van de Haar and including former Spakenburgers Tom van der Neut and Mike Vreekamp in the selection, is eleventh with 18 points from 14 games. The assignment for GVVV is simple: only profit counts.

Unlike GVVV, which already played a make-up game last week, Spakenburg will play its first league game since November. De Treffers is the opponent in Groesbeek. That team is the surprising number four in the ranking and especially gets very few goals against.

Spakenburg lacks the injured goalkeeper Menno Heus and midfielder Boy van de Beek, who once played for De Treffers. Due to the recent problems, no Spakenburg fans are welcome in Groesbeek.

IJsselmeervogels already played a match, coincidentally also against De Treffers. That game was lost, so that the Reds are now in a p/d place. To make matters worse, goalkeeper Jaimy Schaap was injured last week. Because second keeper Stef Brummel left during the winter break, Julian Prinsen will be under the bar against HHC Hardenberg on Saturday. Rydell Poepon is also missing.

HHC Hardenberg, which almost never loses to IJsselmeervogels, is seventh and has 22 points. The Sallanders played two more matches than IJsselmeervogels.
