In the relegation battle of the handball Bundesliga, Lage for TVB Stuttgart has dramatically worsened before the season finale on Pentecost Sunday. Due to the last minute defeat at Fa Göppingen with 27:28 (13:18), the Swabians fell on the penultimate place in the relegation zone of Züruck due to the significantly poorer goal difference behind the rival HC Erlangen. The cutting lighter VfL Postdam has been the first relegation for some time.
The decision to stay in the league is made in a remote trivial on Sunday (3 p.m./Dyn). Rising SG BBM Bietigheim at defending champion SC Magdeburg goes into the game with a counter on Erlangen and Stuttgart. The HCE must compete at HSG Wetzlar, while Stuttgart receives SC DHfK Leipzig.
