After the 23:28 at the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, staying in the class remains a hard piece of work for TVB Stuttgart. SC DHfK Leipzig is coming on May 1st, then it’s off to their direct rival in Minden.

The small upward trend of the handball Bundesliga club TVB Stuttgart with the two wins against HC Erlangen and HBW Balingen-Weilstetten is over: At the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, the team of coach Roi Sanchez lost 23:28 (11:16). “With five goals, the defeat was a bit too big,” said the Spanish coach, “we’re a bit disappointed because we calculated something here, but we just didn’t take our chances consistently enough.”
Sicker better Werfer
In front of 4024 spectators in the SAP Arena, Patrick Zieker (5), Max Häfner, Egon Hanusz and Jerome Müller (3 each) were the best throwers for TVB, who had their best man between the posts: Tobias Thulin stopped after being substituted on Ivan Pesic 16 balls in the 13th minute. However, the Lion goalkeeper Mikael Appelgren made just as many saves. Andy Schmid (10/3) from Switzerland was the top scorer for Mannheim. “Andy also had to deliver today, but the whole team played for the club and the fans today,” said Löwen coach Ljubomir Vranjes.

hard weeks
“We made too many technical mistakes, which resulted in too many easy goals. If you are five goals behind at the break, it will be difficult,” said Thulin, who knows that there are still difficult weeks ahead of his team in the fight against relegation: “It’s about every point, every goal.”
Hoping for Lönn
With seven games to go, the cushion on the first relegation zone is three points. GWD Minden, host of the TVB on May 8 (2 p.m.), is in this penultimate place. Before that, the SC DHfK Leipzig will come to the Porsche Arena on May 1st (4:05 p.m.). Then the painfully missed Swedish backcourt player Adam Lönn (lower leg problems) should be back on the ball for the Sanchez team.
