Two top clubs in five days. After that, SC DHfK will see for the first time where the journey of the Handball Bundesliga can lead to.
On Sunday, Leipzig will play at home against Gummersbach (4.30 p.m., live on Dyn, Advertisement) with Julian Köster, on Thursday (7 p.m.) also at home against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen with Juri Knorr. Both teams have ambitions. Gummersbach already plays in Europe, the Löwen would like to do so again at the end of the season. And Leipzig has also dreamed of it in recent years – and wants to become stronger at home.

Managing Director Karsten Günther: “The answer is boring, but if we have learned one thing, it is that it is very good for us if we only think from game to game. The next game is Gummersbach and it doesn’t matter who points the finger where. We have to and want to deliver our best performance and leave the pitch as winners in the anniversary game (Leipzig is celebrating the club’s 70th birthday with a big gala on Friday, ed.).”
Backcourt shooter Matthew Klima stays cool: “If we lose, we have to win afterwards.”
