It’s like bewitched. The Melsungers are still extremely weak, since Simić, Mensing, Darmoul, Balenciaga, Kastening, Cavalcanti and Stefánsson are still missing today. That is why the home defeat (27:29) can be explained against the Rhein-Neckar lions, but points are still needed promptly. Head coach Roberto Garrondo is allowed to fall back on David Mandić again, who is ready for use after a flu infection.

In the Bergisches Land you are happy that there are finally top handball on your own front door again. The specialist press predicts a strong season of the Gummersbacher and this is indicated by a lot even after the first match day, because success in the exhibition center of Hanover was characterized by an extremely confident appearance over long distances. Today the duel follows the miracle bag of Melsungen. Captain and national player Julian Köster does not want to underestimate the opponent: “You have injury worries with important players, but nevertheless you have such a broad squad that it is still international class.”

A duel between two high -class handball clubs awaits us this evening, the previous year’s lover meets the third place in the past season. While Gummersbach presented itself at a strong level at the start in Hanover, the injury -plagued Melsungers had to accept a defeat at the start of the season. There should therefore be plenty of tension in this English week. The direct comparison is almost balanced: from 39 meetings so far, today’s hosts won 20 games, the Hesse won 19 times.
