Top duel: THW Kiel welcomes the battered Rhein-Neckar Löwen!
There is great excitement for today's game in the handball Bundesliga, when THW Kiel awaits the Rhein-Neckar Löwen. Kick-off is at 4:30 p.m., and fans can look forward to a live broadcast on streaming provider Dyn, which starts 15 minutes beforehand. THW Kiel, which leads the table with an impeccable record after six games, is the clear favorite. The team recently had over a week off from play, which gave them plenty of time to optimally prepare for this challenging opponent. Image reported.
The Rhein-Neckar Löwen, on the other hand, had to accept a bitter defeat in the trophy against Flensburg a few days ago, with 32:38 they went off the pitch. Coach Maik Machulla was disappointed with the performance and demands a significant increase from his team in order to be able to survive against Kiel. It could be particularly critical for the lions if they have to take a third defeat this season, because that would certainly put additional pressure on the team.
Personnel changes in the lions
The lions have changed a lot in recent times. Several key players have left the club, including defense chief Olle Forsell Schefvert for Melsungen as well as goalkeeper Mikael Appelgren and left-hander Ivan Martinovic, who both went to Veszprem. These departures certainly have an impact on the team. Machulla has been given new players, but the challenge remains to strengthen the team with the remaining national players such as Patrick Groetzki and Jannik Kohlbacher. He relies on different types of players to promote the unpredictability of the team. THW handball describes these personnel changes and the challenges that arise from them.
An interesting aspect is Machulla's view that the classic playmaker no longer exists in modern handball. This perspective could explain why the lions are looking for new games. In addition to the defensive, the attack must also be made faster and more efficiently. Right -wing Lukas Zerbe from THW Kiel also emphasized this, and the zebras are determined to improve their defensive.
