Preview: Pool E leaders Belgium and the Netherlands clash in the FIVB World League Group 2 later today. Belgium swept its four meetings against Finland to seize the lead in Pool E with 10 points. This afternoon, the Red Dragons travel to nearby Netherlands with the aim of extending their lead from the rest of the pack. The Belgians posted four-set victories over the Finns in Kortrijk last week. The hosts won their first encounter at the Sportcampus Lange Munte 25–18 20–25 26–24 25–14 and followed it up with a 29–27 23–25 25–16 25–10 in the rematch. “Now we are waiting for some good games against The Netherlands, never an easy derby,” said Belgian ace and Group 2 top scorer Sam Deroo. For other scoring options, head coach Dominique Baeyens will pin his hopes on Gert Van Walle, Pieter Coolman and Pieter Verhees. The Netherlands are coming off a two-week break so they are more relaxed heading into the first of their two match-ups at the Maaspoort Sports and Events in ‘s-Hertogenbosch this weekend. During the break, the Dutch defeated Spain twice to qualify for the European Championship that will be co-hosted by Italy and Bulgaria in October. The Dutch currently have five points in the pool after posting two wins over Portugal in Matosinhos in Week 1. They won the first match 23-25 25-20 25-21 25-20 and needed five sets to win the rematch 17-25 25-18 24-26 25-21 15-12. Dick Kooy will lead the Netherlands in this showdown of neighbours. Helping him on the floor are Kay Van Dijk, Nimir Abdel-Aziz and Johannes Cornelius Bontje. Belgium defeated the Netherlands 25–17 25–22 25–21 to win the bronze medal in Group 2 last season.
