Next away game: The Bundesliga handball players from VfL Oldenburg want to remain unbeaten in all competitions for the fifth game in a row. The next opponent is the HSG Bad Wildungen Vipers on Saturday. Kick-off in the Ense Hall in Bad Wildungen is at 7 p.m.
The furious 33:20 derby win against Buxtehuder SV, progressing in the playoffs of the European League against PAOK Thessaloniki – win and draw included – and the hard-fought quarter-finals in the DHB Cup at Frisch Auf Göppingen: The Oldenburgers want to follow their successful past encounters Handball players will continue this seamlessly in the Bundesliga at HSG Bad Wildungen.
The hosts got off to a false start in the league, losing all three games against Union Halle-Neustadt (21:32), Borussia Dortmund (18:32) and Buxtehuder SV (24:30). But you don’t want to underestimate the North Hessians – especially since the Vipers made it into the quarter-finals with a 27:25 win against Bundesliga relegated VfL Waiblingen last cup weekend. “They boosted their self-confidence in the cup,” says coach Niels Bötel. As in the past, he expects Bad Wildungen to have a variable formation. “They also like to play with a seventh field player up front. So we have tasks that we have to solve in order to be able to win the game.”
But one thing is also certain: Bad Wildungen experienced an even bigger upheaval in the summer than VfL. “We will certainly see two teams that need a few more games to be at their best,” believes Bötel: “But it is always difficult to survive in Bad Wildungen, so it doesn’t really matter whether They have a supposedly big change.” The interaction between defense and goalkeeper could be crucial for the victory. In terms of personnel, VfL is traveling with the squad from the past few weeks, only the ailing top scorer Toni Reinemann is still a question mark. Bötel: “We will do everything we can to take the two points from Bad Wildungen.”
