The finish is getting closer and FC Volendam is on course for maintenance in the premier league. However, the team of trainer Wim Jonk is by no means safe. The margin with FC Emmen’s promotion/relegation spot is only three points. A victory tonight at Fortuna Sittard brings the goal one step closer. You can follow the FC Volendam – Fortuna Sittard match and the meeting in the first division between Helmond Sport and Telstar live on the radio at NH Sport.
In the first leg, Jonk’s men were left empty-handed afterwards. Goals from Úmaro Embaló and Oguzan Özyakup before the break made the final score 2-0. In addition, Bilal Ould-Chikh was sent off for a foul on George Cox at the time.
Tonight Volendam will play the return in their own stadium. Gaetano Oristanio is missing for the last time due to a suspension he received for his red card against AZ. Because Xavier Mbuyamba was also sent off against Feyenoord last Sunday in injury time, he is not there either. Josh Flint may return to the base as a result. Arianit Ferati is missing from the Limburgers due to a suspension and Özyakup is not fit.
The kick-off in the Volendam stadium is at 8 p.m. You will receive the commentary from Edward Dekker.
Helmond Sports – Telstar
At the same time, the meeting between Helmond Sport and Telstar starts in North Brabant. Those are the numbers fifteen and eleven of the first division. Just like Telstar, Helmond Sport is difficult to score, although it succeeded three times in the last game. Van Jong PSV won Helmond no less than 3-0. Telstar also gained confidence last week by beating Roda JC 2-1 in Kerkrade. Good news is that Tom Overtoom, Anwar Bensabouh and Rein Smit have returned to the selection after injuries. Your reporter in Helmond is Frank van der Meijden.
NH Sport is there from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with of course also a preview of The Classic next Sunday between Ajax – Feyenoord. You can also follow that match live on Sunday in an extra NH Sport radio broadcast that starts at 2 p.m. Tonight your presenter is Robbert van den Heuvel.
