Semi Final Preview #1

First match: Aalborg V Middelfart

Well this is certainly going to be an interesting one. Aalborg was the only team to finish with a winning record against Middelfart over the course of the season. However Middelfart have been the most consistent team in the competition so far. Last week Aalborg were able to get over the line in a close one at home. Playing in exactely the same situation as the previous week will surely be an advantage for Aalborg. I was suprised Middelfart chose to play the first game away, given the situation of it beiong a weeknight, and that they lost there only the previous week.
Aalborg's middle attack will be a key to their victory, if they fire (meaning the passing wil have to be good too) It will go a long way to helping them getting a victory. Middelfart will have to serve well to serve well to keep Aalborg honest.
I think that Middelfart will take this one in a close one. Even though they have had a tough couple of matches there too good a team to lose 3 from 4 i think. However i'm sure Aalborg are gonna be a tough ask no matter what.

BM V Gentofte
Well Gentofte certainly took care of us in our last semi final encounter with them last December. However much has changed since then. Our boys have had a much more impressive second half of the season then before the christmas break. However although there poor slutspil record Gentofte have the team to cause any team trouble in the competition. They bring there top game and its always gonna be tough! We havn't lost to them atr home this year, so I'm hoping this record stays intact. Again I believe our service pressure is a key. Our middles are making some good blockes when giving some good oppurtunities. So hopefully we take to the road on Sunday a game up! Otherwise it'll be really tough.
