It is and will be a crazy season in the LIQUI MOLY Handball Bundesliga due to the corona. Many surprising things have already happened. HC Erlangen last played at the end of March. Then it went into what felt like an eternal quarantine. On Sunday at 4 p.m. (live on Sky from 3:30 p.m.), the HCE can go back to the record for a duel with the SCM.
With the exception of the long-term injuries Matthias Musche and Gisli Thorgeir Kristjansson, the green-reds want to compete with the best possible squad in the Nürnberger Versicherung arena. HC Erlangen is currently unknown. Lukas Mertens: “In general, teams that were in quarantine are unpredictable. Erlangen has not played at the moment, so you look at games further back and also our home game against HCE, which went well.”
However, the team from the Nuremberg metropolitan region is well staffed. “Erlangen has a very good team, they feel stronger every year. We need 100 percent attention on Sunday to get the points”, Lukas looks ahead.
