NEC follows the Amsterdam-based team with two points less and FC Utrecht with three. However, the opponent of the coming Sunday is still playing for survival in the Eredivisie. The Volendam-based team still have the opportunity to secure their place directly or to qualify for the promotion and relegation play-offs.
