Bergischer Bergischer HC in focus: fight for the promotion places!

On February 15, 2025, the 19th matchday 19th Handball Bundesliga of the men took place. The focus was on a planned top game between HBW Balingen-Weilstetten and TV 05/07 Hüttenberg, which was, however, canceled. Despite the sporting losses, there were bright spots in the relegation battle, especially from 8th place, where the competition remains tense.

The reason for the cancellation of the game between HBW Balingen-Weilstetten and the TVH is in personnel bottlenecks. The TV Hüttenberg could only compete with six players and was forced to cancel the journey. These diseases and injuries concern both the active people on the field and the strategic planning of the entire team.

home victory and new hope

Despite the cancellations, there was also positive news: TuS N-Lübbecke celebrated a convincing 33:23 victory (halftime: 17:13) against VfL Lübeck-Schwartau. This was the first victory in the new year, which certainly gives the team new confidence. In addition, the HC Elbflorenz Dresden ASV Hamm-Westfalen was able to defeat 35:27 (17:11), which contributes to the positive mood.

In another encounter, the owls Ludwigshafen urgently had to score, as they are only two points away from the relegation zone. The home game against the HSG Konstanz is considered a mandatory task, which coach Johannes Wohlrab underlined. The urgency of the game is undisputed for the owls, because further defeats could have serious consequences.

leader and midfielder

The league of the league, the Bergische HC, welcomes the HSC 2000 Coburg in the next match. This is a crucial duel, since Coburg has only four points behind a possible promotion zone. The relegation battle is becoming increasingly exciting, especially for the teams that are in midfield. Dessau-Roßlauer HV and TV Großwallstadt are only separated by one point, while Eintracht Hagen as the penultimate and Bayer Dormagen with a more comfortable five points are in the fight for relegation.

in the entire league, which consists of 18 teams and is over 34 game days this season, it becomes clear that the descent is also a main topic. The teams that fight in the upper ranks try to qualify for the EHF Champions League, while others have to try to stay in the league intensively.

As the current table shows, the pressure on every single point this exciting season is getting bigger, and many teams have to adapt their strategy to be successful. The owls Ludwigshafen and HBW Balingen-Weilstetten are facing an unusual week because they have brought their games forward to meet the challenges of the upcoming encounters. And so it remains to be seen whether the failures affect the performance of the teams. Current information about the games of the different teams can be found on Sofascore .
