How quickly everything can change this season. First, the Füchsen’s Champions League ambitions turned into European Cup fears and now – a few weeks later – international business is within reach again.
“Everything is still possible up there,” said Fabian Wiede, who is currently in fifth place with his team and hopes to climb the table further. Reason for optimism is not only the own successful streak with four Bundesliga victories in As a result, but also the negative spiral of the direct competitors. For example, there was last shooting help from the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen, who remained without a win for the fifth game in a row due to their defeat in Balingen and only recorded one minus point less than the Berliners.

So the starting position for Wiede and his team is very good. Especially when you consider that the Füchse have played one less game so far and will receive a beatable opponent in their own hall this weekend (4 p.m. / Sky) with the HSC 2000 Coburg. Nonetheless, coach Jaron Siewert warns about bottoming out in the table: “We shouldn’t be fooled. They know that it will be difficult to stay in the league, but they will certainly fight until the end. “
The club from Upper Franconia should not be a yardstick for the Berliners. Even the first leg in November was won 32:25 despite short periods of weakness and two points are firmly planned for this Sunday. Siewert’s aim is to make a profit from a compact defensive position and thereby score easy goals. “This is particularly important in the current phase of the season in order to save energy and not always have to wear yourself out in attacking positions,” says the 27-year-old – fourth place firmly in view.
