Owls face a decisive duel against Coburg – fight for victory!
The Eulen Ludwigshafen won the home game against HSC 2000 Coburg with 32:27 on Tuesday, December 10th. After a series of two defeats in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga, most recently against TuS Ferndorf and Eintracht Hagen, this victory was urgently needed. With 13 points, the Owls are in 11th place in the table, while Coburg is also right behind them with 13 points, but sits one place lower due to goal difference the weekly reporter reported.
Personnel concerns and hope for returnees
The Owls continue to battle significant personnel concerns. The team was without top scorer Mex Raguse and other key players, which added to the challenges ahead of the game. Raguse, who stood out in a recent series of friendly matches, is hoping for his teammates to return soon. Eulen coach Johannes Wohlrab demands maximum performance from his team: “It’s going in the right direction,” explains Freddy Stüber, who is suffering from a shoulder injury. Despite the circumstances, Wohlrab demands “maximum will to win, maximum effort” in order to be successful against Coburg.
HSC Coburg, which recently ended a negative series, represents serious competition with goalkeeper Petros Boukovinas. Boukovinas has played convincingly recently and is seen as one of the keys to Coburg's victory. Wohlrab warns that Coburg is “individually very well staffed”. Nevertheless, Wohlrab saw his own team as well prepared for the demands of the game, which was ultimately reflected in the clear victory, especially after the difficult first half of the season, which was marked by numerous injuries Owls Ludwigshafen determines.
