Ramon Min|16.11.2024
The twelfth round of play in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Women is upon us. Will Huizen finally manage to score again? And will Den Bosch manage to remain unbeaten for the 53rd time in a row? Read the preview here.
HURLEY - HOUSES
- Hurley won four of five games against Houses in the Hoofdklasse and lost the other game (1-2 in Amstelveen).
- Huizen lost its last six games and did not score in those games. Anne Verbeek was the last Huizen player to score on Oct. 5. She did so in the 56th minute of the home game with Oranje-Rood (2-2). Huizen is now 364 minutes without a goal in the Hoofdklasse.
- Huizen failed to score in nine of the first 11 games from the league start this season. This equals a negative big league record: it previously only happened to Zwolle in the 1995-1996 season.
- Huizen's last win was the 1-2 visiting Hurley (!) on March 24, 2019.
- Hurley is waiting four duels in a row for a win in the Hoofdklasse (V V G V). The last win was the 2-1 at home against Rotterdam on Oct. 17.
HDM - DEN BOSCH
- Den Bosch is unbeaten seven games in a row against HDM (W5 G2) since a rare 1-2 home defeat against the Hague team on April 18, 2021.
- That defeat was Den Bosch's only loss against HDM in the last 50 matches between them in the Hoofdklasse (W45 G4).
- HDM lost its last two duels (2-0 Tilburg and 0-1 SCHC), after previously not losing three in a row: 0-0 at HGC, 1-0 Huizen and 1-2 at Rotterdam.
- Den Bosch last lost a regular league game on September 18, 2022: 2-0 against Amsterdam at Wagener Stadium. Since then, coach Marieke Dijkstra's formation remained unbeaten 52 games in a row (W44 G8).
- HDM is Frédérique Matla's second favorite opponent in the Hoofdklasse. The Den Bosch striker scored 22 goals against the Hague team. Only against Pinoké did Matla score more often (27 times).
AMSTERDAM - TILBURG
- Amsterdam has not yet lost to Tilburg in the Hoofdklasse: five duels ended in three wins and two draws.
- The two games between the two teams at Wagener Stadium were both won by Amsterdam: 7-0 and 3-2.
- After the top four (Den Bosch, SCHC, Amsterdam and Pinoké), Tilburg won the most games of all teams in this competition (five).
- Tilburg scored 26 goals in eleven games. Only Oranje-Rood (28) and Huizen (33) scored more goals.
- Amsterdam attacker Fiona Morgenstern is still four goals away from her fiftieth goal in the Hoofdklasse. She has so far scored six on behalf of Oranje Zwart, 21 on behalf of Oranje-Rood and nineteen for Amsterdam.
HGC - PINOKÉ
- Pinoké remained unbeaten in 11 of the last 12 meetings with HGC (W9 G2 V1).
- Pinoké won four of the last five duels with HGC (G1) since a 3-1 defeat in Wassenaar on May 8, 2022.
- HGC has been waiting five games for a win on its own field (G2 V3). It last happened on Sept. 21 (the 5-0 against Huizen).
- Pinoké is firmly in fourth place after the first half of the competition, a spot that will earn a ticket for the playoffs at the end of the season.
- Only Den Bosch has performed better than Pinoké in away games this season. Den Bosch won all five away games so far, Pinoké won five of its six away games and suffered one defeat (6-1 at Den Bosch).
- Imke Verstraeten is Pinoké's club top scorer this season with seven goals. With that number she is on track to improve a club record. Nicci de Haas once scored eleven goals in 2005-2006, the highest number of goals for a Pinoké player in one big league season.
SCHC - ORANGE-RED
- SCHC has never lost to Oranje-Rood (W11 G4) in the Hoofdklasse.
- The mutual match in Eindhoven in the first half of the competition ended in a big 1-6 victory for SCHC. Striker Maud van den Heuvel scored her first Hoofdklasse hat-trick that day (September 14).
- SCHC recorded its eighth win of the season last Wednesday in the catch-up game against HDM (0-1). Only Den Bosch has won more matches so far (eleven out of eleven).
- SCHC is the most productive team in the Hoofdklasse with 41 goals after eleven games. Amsterdam and Den Bosch follow with 37 and 36 goals.
- Oranje-Rood lost five of its last six matches in the Hoofdklasse and in between only won at Hurley (1-2 on Oct. 27).
ROTTERDAM - KAMPONG
- Kampong remained without defeat (W7 G3) in its last ten underdogs with Rotterdam.
- The last Rotterdam victory over Kampong dates back to October 25, 2009: it was 3-2 at the Hazelaarweg in Rotterdam.
- Rotterdam finally recorded another win against Oranje-Rood (1-0) last weekend, after six defeats in a row.
- Rotterdam scored only three goals in its last four home games: 0-3 Amsterdam, 1-2 HGC, 1-2 HDM and 1-0 Oranje-Rood. Joy Haarman scored two, Yasmin Geerlings one.
- Bente van der Veldt stands at seven goals for Kampong halfway through the league. Her personal record stands at nine goals and dates from the 2022-2023 season.
