After the home win in the top game against TuS Opladen, the next top game is on the program for HSG Krefeld Niederrhein on Saturday from 7.30 p.m. As leaders of the table, the Eagles travel to the Dragons of SG Schalksmühle-Halver, currently in second place. For HSG trainer Maik Pallach, this is not just a sporty duel that is particularly attractive. After all, he was a dreaded circle runner for the Dragons in the 2007/08 season, but couldn’t prevent the team from relegating: “I’m looking forward to the game, but I’ve been with various clubs in the third division for 20 years, so you meet often old friends, ”he said in an RP interview on Thursday. For Krefeld this is the last first round opponent on paper, who is one of the favorites for the first two places in season D.

“This is a team that has a strong first seven or eight, is not wrongly up there and doesn’t have to hide from any opponent,” says Pallach, who especially warns of the two powerful backcourt players of the “dragons” and the “outside tongs” of the team as the best in the league: “They defend very well and have a goalkeeper in Ante Vukas who can nail the goal.” Favorite because they have to win in order to stay at the top so that it stays exciting in the league. ”Pallach has of course also firmly planned his own victory:“ That would be a giant step in a comfortable direction for us. Then we could increase the gap until the end of the first half of the season. “

The trainer may have to reschedule personnel, because the flu is rampant in the cabin. Steffen Hahn, Pascal Noll and Mike Schulz were absent from training this week: “They only play when they are one hundred percent fit.”

The Dragons play their top games in Halver, where the hall holds 1,000 spectators and which is often very emotional and atmospheric. TuS Halver and Schalksmühler TV merged in 2003 as top division clubs and formed a game community together with TuS Stöcken-Dahlerbrück and TuS Oeckinghausen. The licensee and the operating company is SH-Handballspielbetriebs-GmbH.
