Weekend 18*2*06

While I conveniently forget about all that happened last weekend, it is time to write some more for this blog.

Looking forward to this weekend’s match against Gentofte creates several mixed feelings for me. On one hand, Gentofte, and now Middelfart, have stood for our two biggest beatings this year. Our loss in Copenhagen in the Pokal semi was a hard one to swallow for several reasons. Mostly because I feel like our team didn’t perform at all in that match. But also because the match was an important one and because we are well aware that it is Middelfart and Gentofte that stand in the way of us having a chance to win a title. To be beaten handily by the two teams that you know you have to be able to beat to achieve your goals is not a good feeling. Do we have it in us to beat those teams?

On the other hand, we’re a better team than we were before Christmas. Leaving out last weekend, we’ve been playing at a relatively high level, doing the things that we need to do. And I would hope that we are more focused. The point is to top at the right time in the season and that is hopefully what we are going to do. Of course, it is always fun to play against Gentofte as well. Anytime that you have a chance to play a marquee match at home you have to be excited for it…

Other matches:

SK looks like they should get their first win of the slutspil this weekend. Holte came together to beat them earlier in the year but that was a different SK team and it was in Copenhagen. At home, with the motivation of losing to HIK last weekend, a fiery Aarhus team should show up for this one. If they lose, they are essentially out of the running for the playoffs, I don’t think that will happen.

Middelfart should also be able to take care of HIK at home. I wouldn’t be surprised if they give up a set though. HIK looks like they are rounding into form and they match up pretty well with Middelfart. I’ll say 3-1 to the home team in this one.

Good luck to everyone this weekend!
