Mid-term conclusion:
At half-time, THW Kiel leads 17:10 against MT Melsungen. Both teams start solidly, especially in defence, the positional attack doesn’t go smoothly on either side. Therefore, both teams are looking to escape forward in the tempo game. Up to the 7th minute, it’s at eye level, after that the home side can pull away to 6:3 in the 10th minute. Despite various changes, the Melsunger made more and more technical mistakes, which the record champions punished mercilessly. Goalkeeper Tomáš Mrkva is also a big factor, making nine saves so far (47%). The Hessians have to make a lot of adjustments if they want to fight their way back here. See you soon!

Coach Parrondo had to integrate seven top-class newcomers at the beginning of the season. The Hessians started the new season with only moderate success before the engine ran hot and, thanks to mostly strong support in goal in the person of Simic, they were able to record five wins in a row. But from the last three games they could only get two points, including a 22:22 in front of their home crowd against Bergischer HC. The MT hopes for the returned national player Kühn, even for circle player Moraes could be possible again after the injury break, the first minutes of the game at the old place of work.
