SC DHfK Leipzig – Füchse Berlin (Saturday, 4 p.m. / first leg: 36:24 for Berlin)
The foxes don’t want to leave anything to chance even with a twelve-goal cushion in their back. “We will approach the game in the same way as the first leg,” announced Berlin coach Bob Hanning. For Leipzig, that sounds like a threat, because on Wednesday evening the capitals dominated the comparison. “We see the game as a good and further development step, even if we want to set up the squad a bit broader in action. We have to show the same passion, only then will we have the opportunity to win this game too. Five percent less and we run behind, “says Hanning, the SC, who in of this class constellation reached the B-youth final against Melsungen two years ago, will be ready if the guests allow themselves to neglect.
TSV Bayer Dormagen – SG Flensburg-Handewitt (Sunday, 1 p.m. / first leg: 40:32 for Dormagen)
Michael Jacobsen is the only one from the Flensburg team who experienced this special day almost a year ago. After a 29:35 first leg defeat in the final of the A-Youth Championship of the 2018/19 season against the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen, the Danish coach saw how his team in their own hall with 29:23 got the upper hand and the Baden team did still fell from the throne. Maybe Jacobsen addresses this encounter as a motivational aid, because the SG will also go into the game on Sunday with a significant handicap. “The result on Thursday was of course clear for Dormagen, but as long as the fat woman is still singing, the opera is not over. We’re not going to take the long journey to give away the game, “the Flensburg coach makes clear. Dormagen has an advantage due to the longer preparation opportunities, but if the Flensburgers take a few things to heart, Jacobsen believes that something can still be possible, and although: “We need more will and aggressiveness than in the first leg.” For Dormagen’s interim trainer Peer Pütz, the clear success abroad came unexpectedly. Before the decisive second comparison he says: “Eight goals ahead and 40 away goals are a good starting position, but Flensburg will not be defeated. We have to be just as focused in the second leg as we were in Flensburg. “
JSG Melsungen / Körle / Guxhagen – JSG Balingen-Weilstetten (Sunday, 3 p.m. / first leg: 33:33)
Third game after the long break for the Balingen – second draw. And like against Pforzheim, coach Julian Thomann could live very well with the 33:33 against Melsungen. “We created a great starting position against one of the best A youth teams in Germany, which keeps all our options open. Just like on Wednesday, I’m hoping for an open exchange of blows again. “On the Melsung side, trainer Florian Maienschein sees room for improvement in matters of constancy. His team started and finished well in Balingen. However, this was to a large extent due to the bilious Balingers, who with their very good condition do not have to hide in Melsungen either.
TSV Allach – Rhein-Neckar-Löwen (Sunday, 4 p.m. / first leg: 36:25 for the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen)
The second half is currently the main discipline of the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen. In the group game against Oftersheim, as well as in the quarter-final first leg against Allach, they turned a balanced encounter into a clear box. The physical advantages and the broad squad made the difference and ensured that the Munich team needed a creamy day to shoot the comparison. The guys from Andreas Krauss will want to sell themselves as dearly as possible in their own hall. “Lion trainer” Daniel Haase says: “We met the expected tough opponent and want to prove again in the second leg that we are better. Despite the eleven-goal lead, we will not have a coffee trip on Sunday, we want to also win the game in Allach. The positive thing about the first leg was that it was mostly the younger generation who scored the goals. The players need this experience and further development.
