HUZEN, Netherlands (Interstat) — Huizen hosts Hoogeveen on Saturday at Sportpark De Wolfskamer in a Derde Divisie matchup that carries contrasting momentum into the final stretch of the season.

Huizen (SV Huizen) enters the game on a six-match winless run, the latest a 4-0 defeat at VV Scherpenzeel on April 25. The home side has lost four of its last six, including a 2-0 loss to Harkemase Boys on March 21 and a 1-0 defeat at USV Hercules on March 14. Huizen managed only draws in three of those six games — 3-3 at SV Urk, 1-1 at SV TEC, and 2-3 victory against ROHDA Raalte on March 7, a result that snapped a three-game skid. Before that, Huizen beat SV Excelsior’31 3-2 on Feb. 28 and HSC ’21 2-0 on Feb. 21.

The team has struggled to find consistency. After a 3-0 loss to Sparta Nijkerk W on Feb. 14, Huizen fell 3-1 at ADO ’20 and opened the year with a 2-0 loss to SC Genemuiden on Jan. 31.

Hoogeveen, the visitor, arrives after a 1-1 draw at Baronie on May 8. That result extended a mixed run for the side. Hoogeveen has won three of its last five: a 6-1 rout at Sparta Nijkerk on April 25, a 2-1 win at VV DOVO on March 28, and a 1-0 win at VV Scherpenzeel on March 22. However, the team has also suffered heavy defeats — 4-0 at SV Urk on March 14 and 5-1 at ADO ’20 on Feb. 15. A 3-0 loss at Harkemase Boys on Feb. 21 and a 3-3 draw at USV Hercules on Feb. 8 further highlight Hoogeveen’s inconsistency. A 1-1 draw with SV DVS ’33 on April 18 and a 2-1 win at Staphorst on March 7 round out the recent form.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Huizen, which would end the home side’s winless drought. For Hoogeveen, a win would push it closer to the top half of the table. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
