Rhein-Neckar Löwen receives THW Kiel: Handball season starts explosive!

The handball Bundesliga is in the starting blocks and promises an exciting duel right from the start: The Rhein-Neckar Löwen received the established THW Kiel this evening. The kick -off takes place at 8:30 p.m. and the game can be followed on both television and via streaming.

for the THW Kiel, who disappointed last season, this first game of the new season becomes particularly important. After the first lack of a title win since 2018, the team had to accept fourth place in the Bundesliga and thus remained without Champions League qualification. The team will have to be satisfied with the European League this season, which increases the pressure to show a strong performance again and to get back into the track of success.

The lions that ended up in 12th place last season have also made a lot of do. Coach Sebastian Hinze expresses himself optimistic: "The boys came out of the break in good condition and have worked very well for the past few weeks." The team has the desire to establish themselves as a serious opponent. During last season the performance was not satisfactory, and Hinze emphasized that in the new season you want to trigger unpleasant surprises with the opponent.
