Two more rounds and then the competition for FC Volendam and Telstar is over. Telstar will play at home tonight for the last time this season. Young FC Utrecht is the opponent. The newly promoted FC Volendam is visiting FC Dordrecht. You can follow both duels live on NH Radio.
Telstar is in sixteenth place in the first division and in the worst case can fall to place nineteen. That would be the worst ranking since 2010. In the season that HFC Haarlem went bankrupt and FC Oss was relegated, Telstar also finished in penultimate place with the same number of points as the Brabanders. Thanks to a better goal difference, Telstar was retained for the first division.
Trainer Andries Jonker, who announced yesterday not to leave for De Graafschap, will undoubtedly want to do everything in its power to close the competition well with its players. After the duel with Jong FC Utrecht, the away match against Roda JC still awaits. You can hear from reporter Erik-Jan Brinkman whether the White Lions take the points for their own audience.

FC Volendam Celebrated the promotion in a grand way last weekend to the premier league. The official ceremony will follow on Sunday 8 May when the competition is over.
Championship
The Volendam team still has a small chance of entering the books as champions this season. The gap on leader FC Emmen is six points, but that team has tough opponents in the last two rounds: FC Eindhoven-away and ADO Den Haag-home. Two clubs that still hope to promote through the play-offs.
Should Emmen lose twice and Volendam win against FC Dordrecht and FC Eindhoven, the goal difference will be decisive. That is currently nine goals against FC Volendam. Tonight’s kick-off is at 8 p.m. You get the report from Edward Dekker†
NH Sport will of course also keep you informed of developments on the other fields between 7 pm and 10 pm, including at MVV Maastricht – Jong Ajax and Jong AZ – Helmond Sport. Your presenter is Stef Swagers†
