The decision about relegation or relegation for HSG Wetzlar only comes on the last matchday after a narrow defeat in Hamburg. However, the Central Hessians are up against the best team in the country.
Now things are getting really tight for HSG Wetzlar: The Bundesliga handball players from Central Hesse lost 32:33 (20:19) at HSV Hamburg on Thursday evening and thus missed out on early relegation. The Wetzlarers are still lying as table 16. above the line, but the GWD Minden had already drawn level on points the day before with a surprise win against THW Kiel. Only the goal difference speaks clearly for Wetzlar. The decision will therefore only be made on the last match day.
Of course, the HSG has a much more difficult game ahead of them. The Central Hesse team will host SC Magdeburg, who are already champions, in their own hall on Sunday (3 p.m.) and will probably need a win to stay in the league. At the same time, Minden is competing against the bottom team from Leipzig, who have already been relegated. It feels like the advantage now lies with the GWD, but the Wetzlar team still has their place in the league in their own hands.
Better ending for HSV – and Minden
In Hamburg it was a tight game from start to finish. A lot of speed, a lot of goals, also a lot of simple mistakes. It was close until the end – with the better end for Hamburg and, in the second instance, also for GWD Minden.
