Coach Parrondo’s side have only played four games in the last two months. Their balance of five to eight points also reflects their place in the table, but you have to consider the opponents of MT: Among other things, there was a draw against SC Magdeburg, most recently a clear away win at GWD Minden. Only in Flensburg did the Hessians lose significantly, there was a sensitive twelve-goal defeat. The Melsunger have shown once again this season that they are difficult to beat at home, so the Löwen have to overcome this hurdle first.

If MT could ever get anything countable against the lions, it was in front of their home crowd. In the first leg there was a clear defeat of 36:25 in Mannheim, and in the DHB Cup the Baden team was able to hold their own against Central Hesse with 36:28. The last victory for the Melsunger was two and a half years ago, when they won dramatically with 25:24. The home strength against the lions should be built on today, but a look at the table reveals that it shouldn’t be a cakewalk. While the MT only ranks eleventh, the lions are currently in sixth place. But it is clear that both teams are likely to fall short of their high expectations and now want to end the season on a conciliatory note in the final sprint.
