MTV Lübeck with tailwind against HC Bremen

The 27:20 at TSG Altenhagen-Heepen has given the U19 Bundesliga handball players from MTV Lübeck self-confidence: “I’m convinced that we can also get the points against HC Bremen,” says coach Mirko Spieckermann before today’s home game in the Hansehalle (8 p.m.).

However, the MTV boys will have to do without playmakers Reinhard Canzler and Raul Rodriguez, both of whom are out with ligament injuries. The use of right winger Linus Stegen is still questionable. Luis Jose and Elias Ciudad Benitez could play a key role: “We have to stop Bremen’s playmaker and want to build up our attacks from a stable defence. We also have to improve the way we convert our chances,” Spieckermann demands. The first leg was lost 25:29.
