Not only is the title fight far from being decided, there is also tension at the bottom of the Eredivisie. At least six clubs still have to fear relegation. Who have the best papers? This is the remaining program of the tail plows.
With 30 points from 27 games, Heerenveen and Go Ahead Eagles, the numbers 11 and 12, don’t seem to have to worry anymore. But underneath it is crowded. Heracles, the number 13 with 27 points from 27 matches, is in principle the best. However, the team of departing trainer Frank Wormuth has a cunning program. Heracles plays four of the last seven matches – including the last three – against a direct competitor. That could be top or flop.
Sparta, the last opponent of Heracles, has the advantage that it still has two duels in store compared to the competition. Henk Fraser’s team will play the make-up match against Fortuna on April 16, three days later the last six minutes of the canceled away game against Vitesse are on the roll. Sparta then hopes to cross the line with a 0-1 lead.
Hekkensluiter PEC Zwolle has the misfortune that it is the only tail club still playing against the two title candidates Ajax and PSV.
