It looks like a lot of the drama from the elite division took place last weekend. All of the slutspil teams are found, all that is left to find out now is who will end in which position. And even though things went poorly last week with Holte winning and Hvidovre disappointing, I’m pretty optimistic about the offerings for this weekend.
Gentofte – Holte (H1.50): Holte has proven that they are good enough to be in the slutspil. But beating SK Aarhus and beating Gentofte are two very different things. The home team should be motivated with the upcoming Pokal semi-final on Wednesday. They should be hungry to erase the somewhat disappointing loss from last weekend and simply put, Holte doesn’t have the horses to keep up with them. I would be surprised if this one goes more than three sets.
SK Aarhus (H1.50) – Middelfart: A lot of people were predicting a Holte win last weekend against Aarhus. I don’t know if that says more about Aarhus’ level or Holte’s. But in any case, playing against Middelfart isn’t going to be any easier. With a Pokal semi-final also coming up in the next week these two teams should be eager to perform at a high level. The problem for Aarhus is that they have been inconsistent all year long while Middelfart has continued to play good volleyball. SK will probably debut their new Brazilian but in the end it shouldn’t have too much effect on the outcome of the match. 3-0 to Middelfart. (A package of Middelfart and Gentofte gives odds over 2 and looks pretty darn attractive right now.)
Lyngby – DHG (H1.50): Neither team has very much to play for. DHG has been playing well as of late but Lyngby has also played good volleyball. I think Lyngby is the better team on this day. 3-1 to Lyngby.
PVC Lyngby (H2.50) – HIK Aalborg: Anything but a 3-0 win for Aalborg here is not good enough. PVC has nothing to play for while HIK is looking to take over 4th place and the one point that gives for the slutspil. Further, they have been playing well lately and should continue their development. Playing in PVC is never an easy thing to do but I think the team from Aalborg has the class to run away with this one, especially against a PVC team with little motivation.
Hvidovre (H2.50) – Marienlyst: Marienlyst.

The woman on the other hand are going to experience a lot of drama this weekend! Just from writing this I feel the tension and excitement "bubbling" in my body.. Amager is playing against SK Århus while DHG is playing Lyngby. Lyngby is safe in the slutspil but a win means 2. place and two points. Amager, SK and DHG are competing for the last two spots. Amager just needs to win one set, and they are safe for the slutspil after christmas. SK and DHG have the exact same set-scores with SK having a better ball-score. That means that the one of the two teams who get the most sets will enjoy themselves in the good league after christmas.
I can't believe how crazy it is to be in such a tensed situation where so little means such a huge difference for the future. I'm excited to see if the teams can handle the pressure and play some good volley that shows who should be in the top six!
