Helmond Sport host Fortuna Sittard in this last match of the 6th period.

The standings of this period are:

1. Volendam 15 points

2. Den Bosch 11

3. Waalwijk 10

4. Ado Den Haag 10

5. Omniworld 10

6. Helmond 10

7. Roosendaal 9

8. Veendam 9

Volendam have clearly won the period, but they are already in the playoffs due to winning another one, so the second placed can grab this last playoff spot. The main contenders are Den Bosch, Waalwijk, Den Haag, Omniworld and Helmond. Since Waalwik and Den Bosch have won periods themselves, by winning to day, the 6th playoff spot would go to the highest team in the rankings at the end of the season in Jupiter League:

1. Volendam 35 19 11 5 81:43 68

2. Waalwijk RKC 35 19 11 5 79:43 68

3. Den Bosch 35 19 7 9 56:36 64

4. Zwolle FC 35 17 12 6 67:39 63

5. den Haag FC 34 16 9 9 55:42 57

6. Helmond 35 17 6 12 51:44 57

7. Maastricht 34 14 10 10 57:47 55

The top 4 having qualified already for the playoffs, in case Den Bosch or Waalwijk win their matches, than there would be a big fight for the 5th spot that would therefore give that last playoff spot. Both Den Haag and Helmond are fighting hard for it and for winning the 6th period, so the motivation for Helmond Sport to win tonight should be double.

Their home record is 9-4-4 with a 32-19 GD. The visitors, Fortuna Sittard, are in the lower part of the table and have no interest. Their away record is 4-4-9 with a 20-33 GD. Helmond are 3-1-1 in their last 5 games, winning against MVV, Haarlem and Dodrecht away, drawing against Waalwijk and surprisingly losing against Veendam. Fortuna are 2-0-3 in their last 5, losing against MVV, Telstar and Veendam, while winning against Cambuur and surprisingly away at Zwolle.

Helmond won away at Fortuna 1-0 in the return fixture, and with all the determination they have today, should get all the 3 points without any problems. Good luck.
