Cambuur Leeuwarden can pull eight points clear at top of Eerste Divisie with win Monday
This has been a strange year for people all around the world, but the way time has flown by might be the biggest thing from this new world order.
Going into the final international break of the season, there are just nine games left in most leagues around Europe.
For Cambuur Leeuwarden, that means a 45-day sprint into the top flight of the Netherlands, if the team can keep the foot on the gas and keep winning.
Since the calendar turned to 2021, the Yellow-Blues have lost just once (way back on Jan. 8), and have eight wins, three draws, and one loss: they are also on a 10-match unbeaten run, with seven wins.
Stretch it back even further, and Cambuur has 15 wins, two losses and three draws since Nov. 8, good for 48 out of 60 points.
Monday, the Yellow-Blues, with their +55 goal difference, get 16th place FC Eindhoven and its -11 goal difference. A win for Cambuur moves the team eight points clear of third place Almere City for automatic promotion with nine games to go.
Take Cambuur to roll today.
