This weekend, the fourteenth round in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Men is scheduled. Here's what you need to know about the six matches on Saturday and Sunday.
ORANGE-ROOD - PINOKÉ
Saturday, 17:00
- Pinoké could not win the last two matches with Oranje-Rood, while before that the team did win four of the five matches against the Eindhoven side (L1).
 - Oranje-Rood could not win its last five home duels with Pinoké (D1 L4).
 - The Eindhoven side's last home win over the Stingernoses dates back to 23 September 2018, when it finished 3-2. Bob de Voogd, Mink van der Weerden and Thomas Briels then scored for OR, Alexander Hendrickx and Camil Papa for Pinoké.
 - Oranje-Rood scored 16 times in its last four home games, including nine times in its last two matches (6-4 HDM and 3-2 Amsterdam).
 - Pinoké only conceded eight goals in those six away games, the fewest of any club together with Den Bosch.
NIJMEGEN - AMSTERDAM
Saturday, 6:30pm
- The last time the two teams faced each other in Nijmegen was in the distant past. On 30 April 1977, Amsterdam won 0-2 in Nijmegen.
 - Nijmegen still failed to win in nine premier league matches with Amsterdam (D3 L6).
 - Nijmegen only scored one goal in four home matches against Amsterdam and has been dry for three matches in a row (0-0, 0-1 and 0-2).
 - Nijmegen could only cheer for a win once in its last 35 matches in the Hoofdklasse (4-1 at home against Hurley on 17 November 2024). The remaining matches resulted in seven draws and 27 defeats.
 - Amsterdam (47 goals) is the second most scoring team in this big league season after Bloemendaal (55 goals).
SCHC - DEN BOSCH
Sunday, 12:45pm
- Den Bosch remained unbeaten (W W D W W) in its last five matches with SCHC since a 2-1 defeat in Bilthoven on 22 April 2018.
 - That defeat is SCHC's only win in the last 11 mutual matches against Den Bosch (D2 L8).
 - The last edition of SCHC-Den Bosch ended in a spectacular 4-4 on 24 October 2021. SCHC failed to hold on to or extend a 3-1 and 4-2 lead in that matches.
 - SCHC started the second half of the competition excellently last weekend with a thunderous 3-4 win at Bloemendaal, the club's first ever visit to The Mussen.Â
 - Den Bosch scored 40 goals in 13 matches this season, an average of 3.08 goals per match. Only in the 2022-2023 (3.09) and 2001-2002 (3.36) seasons was the team's goal average higher.
HDM - HURLEY
Sunday, 12:45pm
- HDM won the last two league duels with Hurley and won three of the last four matches between them (L1).
 - The outward match from the first league half ended in a big 0-5 win for HDM, through goals by Chris Taberima (two), Yorben Fontaine, Wil Calnan and Marc Bolto.
 - That 0-5 equalled HDM's biggest away win in the Hoofdklasse.Â
 - HDM is struggling to win in home matches this season. The team won only one of its last six matches on home turf (D2 L3). That happened against promoted Nijmegen on 26 October 2024 (3-1).
 - Chris Taberima (12 goals) was single-handedly responsible for almost half of all HDM's goals (26).
KLEIN ZWITSERLAND - BLOEMENDAAL
Sunday, 2:45pm
- Bloemendaal won 15 of its last 16 matches against Klein Zwitserland and lost the remaining match (5-3 in The Hague on 15 September 2022).
 - Bloemendaal won seven of its last eight away games against KZ (L1). Before that, The Mussen could not win eight in a row against KZ in The Hague (D4 L4).
 - A total of 16 goals fell in the last two editions of KZ-Bloemendaal: 5-3 and 3-5.
 - Last weekend's defeat against SCHC (3-4 on their own pitch) is Bloemendaal's only loss in the last 27 matches in the regular league (W23 D3).
 - KZ won 0-2 at Hurley when the league resumed and remained unbeaten for the sixth time in the last seven matches (W4 D2).
ROTTERDAM - KAMPONG
Sunday, 16:00
- Kampong is already nine games in a row without defeat against Rotterdam in the regular league (W6 D3).
 - Kampong's last defeat against Rotterdam dates back to 24 November 2019, when it finished 3-2 in Rotterdam.
 - Kampong won in Rotterdam more often than the home team: 20 mutual matches resulted in seven wins by the home team and eight by the visitors (five draws).Â
 - Rotterdam suffered only their second defeat in the last 20 league games (W12 D6) last Thursday in the rescheduled game with Bloemendaal (3-2).
 - Kampong is hard to beat outside Utrecht, with only one defeat in its last 11 away games (W7 D3).
