In these duels it will also be decided who will be in the bonus round or qualifying round after the national team break.
That has already been decided in the duel between Linz and Krems, but for both of them it is about possibly decisive points Points for the second championship phase. After all, Linz wants to play its way out of the table in the qualifying round and thus qualify for the quarter-finals. The Wachauer orientate themselves towards the top of the table, which goes hand in hand with the first right to choose the quarter-final opponent after the bonus round has ended. The first leg ended 35:28 for Krems.

“A tough game against Bärnbach / Köflach awaits us on Saturday. We only narrowly won the game in the first half of the season with plus one in the last few seconds. I expect a good effort from us and a fighting spirit for over sixty minutes on Saturday. If we can do that, then I think we can keep the two points at home. “
