Like here after the game against Konstanz, the Eagles want to celebrate after the last home game against Schalksmühle. Before that, a victory in Pforzheim is to come.

Maik Pallach made his way from his home in Gummersbach to Krefeld in the early afternoon on Thursday to prepare for the evening’s practice session in his trainer’s cabin in the Glockenspitzhalle. Because before working on the hard floor, he prepared his team for the game on Saturday (7 p.m.) at SG Pforzheim/Eutingen via video. Because in the handball stronghold on the northern edge of the Black Forest, a hot dance awaits the HSG Krefeld Niederrhein in the fight for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga.

The starting position is extremely exciting in the promotion round group south before the weekend. Five of the six teams can still hope for one of the first two places in the table. “We are basically starting from scratch again. So it remains very exciting,” says Pallach. That’s why we need a win on Saturday: “We want to secure a mega final for the last game at home against Schalksmühle in front of a maybe sold-out hall. In the end there could be a three-way comparison and the goal difference would count.” For the coach, a promotion model with a return match in each group and one promoted player would have been more attractive. It is not yet clear what the mode for the 3rd league will look like in the coming season.
