The first quarter of an hour is like a wild roller coaster ride: Many technical errors characterize the first few minutes on both sides, and every opportunity to play at speed is used. But no team can pull away yet.

With the courage of despair! All that’s left in the time game is a shot from ten meters, but it slips through Mrkva’s braces in the Kiel box.

And again both sides quickly get into the race: Zieker intercepts a pass from Wallinius and immediately punishes it in the counterattack. But the home team knows how to step up immediately and clears away the ball via their right winger.

Goal for THW Kiel, 6:5 by Harald Reinkind
With a lot of luck, the Kiel team will score their next goal! It should not be possible to determine whether the ball was completely behind the line. Vujović was able to scratch it off the line, but the goal counts.

What a throw from Johansson! From the second wave he thunders out a shot, but it only hits the crossbar. On the other hand, the guests continue to look for their circle, Marino Marić is certainly an asset here.

What a start to the game! Both sides open fire quickly, much of it comes from the counterattacks and the second wave. So the two left wingers play each other in the center and ensure the next goals.

4:20 p.m
A look at the statistics reveals that Stuttgart are kind of Kiel’s favorite opponents. The South Germans have not yet won a point in 18 meetings. Coach Schweikardt’s protégés probably don’t have any good memories of their last appearance in the Wunderino Arena; last season there was a crushing 36:23 defeat here. However, the TVB also showed that they can be quite uncomfortable and can keep up for a long time, especially against the top teams. This was also the case in the first leg in Stuttgart, after a tough game the Zebras struggled to a 36:31 win. After the exhausting away tour, the distribution of the load could also play a role today; a lot will depend on what face the Kiel team shows today.
4:15 p.m
The southern Germans are still a little behind their ambitious goal for the season. A single-digit place in the table was given, and the Baden-Württemberg team are currently in 13th place. With just three points ahead of the relegation zone, coach Michael Schweikardt’s men are fully included in the relegation battle. But the Stuttgart team has shown repeatedly this season that they can be unpleasant opponents, especially against the big players in the league. The highly traded Flensburg team in particular can tell a thing or two about it; the North Germans lost 34:31 at TVB. Other good teams like Hannover and the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen also lost ground here. Thanks to these good performances, the guests are still undefeated in the 2024 calendar year, and things should continue like this today, despite the underdog role.
4:10 p.m
After the away marathon, a home game again. As soon as the European Championships in Germany are over, all the Bundesliga stars are called upon again. The Kiel team went into the top game against SC Magdeburg early on, for many it was a game that pointed the way in terms of the table. Despite a full squad, the Northern Lights had a clear blow in their own hall, losing the game against the Bördestädter team with 33:26. Finally, coach Filip Jícha’s men went to Bergischer HC and then straight on to the duel in the premier class in Kielce. A win in the league and an extremely important point in the draw attest to a good performance by the Fördestädters. Above all, first place in the Champions League is impressive, and the Zebras want to build on this strong performance today.
4:00 p.m
Hello and welcome to the 22nd matchday of the Handball Bundesliga! THW Kiel welcomes TVB Stuttgart on Sunday afternoon, kick-off is in the Wunderino Arena at 4:30 p.m.!
