VC Wiesbaden demands VfB Suhl: Is the first home game of the trendsetter?

The new season in the 1st Volleyball Bundesliga of women has started, and VC Wiesbaden is facing the first home game after a difficult opening. On Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. you will receive VfB Suhl Lotto Thuringia in the arena at the Square of German Unity. For both teams, it's not just about the first victory, but also about the first points they urgently need.

After the 0: 3 defeat against the leading SSC Palmberg Schwerin, the pressure on VC Wiesbaden is great. Managing Director Christopher Fetting expects an exciting duel: "We will experience a match at eye level," he explains, hoping for a well -filled hall. The mood among the fans should be high, as the team also needs the support of the audience to find back in the track of success.

English week for the teams

The unusual this season is that the teams played an “English week” right from the start, which means that they have to play three games within eight days. This represents an immense challenge, especially for the teams that had to measure themselves in the first round with the title candidates. After the match against Suhl, the next difficult game against Allianz MTV Stuttgart, the reigning champion and cup winner is waiting on Saturday.

VfB Suhl, which in his view has a similarly difficult start to the season, will also step onto the playground. At the start of the USC Münster, they had to give up in a clear 0: 3 defeat. The team of coach László Hollósy has hit the new difficulties in the strategy and injury problems, so that it is increasingly under pressure to rehabilitate.

a new squad on both sides

Another exciting element is that Suhl has given its starting right to the CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup. The VC Wiesbaden has taken over this qualification, which gives the upcoming duel an additional spice. First, however, the performance on the field will be decisive. While the Wiesbadeners can build on a certain consistency in the squad - seven players stay from the pre -season - Suhl has to send a strongly changed team into play. The Finnish middle blocker Roosa Laakkonen remains the only constant in the newly formed team that has many new faces.

"The Suhlers showed some good approaches in the preparation, but now the real pressure is added," says VCW coach Benedikt Frank. His players have to act clearly in the system, even if they fight with injuries. The young Suhl squad in particular will try to play with high risk to secure their first victory of the season.

"We have to learn from experiences and refine our tactics. It will be an exciting encounter and we are ready to do our best," says middle blocker Jonna Wasserfaller. It does not see the last defeat as a setback, but as a learning opportunity. "It will be important for us to draw the right conclusions from the last game and come back to Suhl on Wednesday."

Overall, the game will be an exciting encounter between two teams, both of whom are on the same points and want to prove themselves. It remains to be seen whether VC Wiesbaden uses the home advantage and can score its first points. For more information, see the current report www.wiesbadenaktuell.de .
