ROTTERDAM - AMSTERDAM
Sunday 3 May, 15:00

Head-to-head record 
45 matches
15 wins Rotterdam
15 wins for Amsterdam
15 draws

What the stats say

• The head-to-head record between Rotterdam and Amsterdam is neatly balanced with 15 wins for both teams and 15 draws.

• Together with frontrunner Oranje-Rood, Rotterdam is already sure of participation in the play-offs.
   
• With 81 goals from twenty matches, Rotterdam is the most prolific team in the Hoofdklasse. Coach Erik van Driel's team needs two more goals in the last two games of the regular league to improve a club record from the 2016-2017 season. Back then, the team scored 82 goals in 22 games.
   
• Amsterdam lost four points in the last two matches: 2-1 loss at Pinoké and 2-2 at home against Bloemendaal (after a 2-0 lead). As a result, the reigning national champion no longer has placement for the play-offs fully in its own hands.

• Pinoké remained unbeaten in its last seven matches with HDM: W W D W W W.
   
• HDM is ninth with 14 points from 20 games, just above the danger zone. But with number ten Schaerweijde just one point away, the Hague team is far from certain of direct retention.

• Pinoké is third on the league table with 41 points from twenty matches. Coach Kasper Vrolijk's team is assured of participation in the playoffs with a win over HDM.
