Relegation duel and fight about the third place

from volleynet.dk
translated by gram trans

There are two very decisive fights on the programme in the men's league for picked teams on the weekend. Skovbakken and Ikast contend for avoiding relegation, and Aalborg HIK and Middelfart meet in a fight that can decide the third place.

The bottom-fight has right since the season's start stood between Skovbakken and Ikast/SKF. The two teams have each won one of the mutual fights, but haven't been in a position to defeat some of the row's rest five teams. Therefore it seems mostly probable that the winner of Saturday's third mutual showdown is in the clear at the relegation fight, while the loser must out. The fight is played on Skovbakken's home ground in Århus, but it was here just that Ikast secured the season's so far only victory.

There will also be a lot at stake in Aalborg on Saturday, where it's the row's third place that is playing about. Through the whole season the home team HIK has lain in front of Middelfart, but the Funen-inhabitants have moved for instance by virtue of two victories over Marienlyst close to the north Jutlanders and can actually overtake with victory in Saturday's fight. The third place can become very important, because one avoids a semifinal with it against the row's number 1, which probably becomes Marienlyst.

On the fourth place you can maybe also come into the situation that you must look yourself over the shoulder for Holte. The North Zealanders can still manage to create excitement about the semifinal spaces, even though it calls for quite a final spurt. It Holte could appropriate address a Saturday, when they have to go on visits on Saturday with Marienlyst.
