Leoben against St. Pölten: A fight for important points in the HLA Challenge
Next Saturday, October 19th, an exciting duel is on the agenda in the HLA Challenge. The Handball Sportunion Leoben meets the Sportunion St. Pölten away. Kick-off is at 7 p.m. in the Prandtauerhalle. This game is particularly important as both teams have high goals for the current season.
The Leobners come with the pressure of a narrow 32:31 win against WAT Fünfhaus, which they were only able to secure in the last minute of the game. In this encounter they showed strong nerves, but also that they had to act decisively in critical moments.
Statistical favorite position
Historically, the Leobners have achieved some convincing results against the St. Pöltner Falken. They celebrated an away win with 29:26 in last season's promotion play-off and drew 33:33 in another game in Donawitz. These statistics could give them a much-needed boost, even though the playing field has changed this season.
The hosts from St. Pölten have strengthened their team in crucial positions. Leoben will also have to do without their top scorer Marek Kovacech, who had to undergo knee surgery. However, Kovacech will be on the sidelines as assistant coach to head coach René Kramer and support the team.
Leoben's winger Marian Schweiger was optimistic before the game. He emphasized the need to improve decisions in the game and not to act too quickly again, as was the case against WAT Fünfhaus. “We have to be ready to take the points and I hope that our teammates who were missing recently can also support us,” said Schweiger.
Home team full of confidence
Spectators can look forward to an intense encounter that will be full of excitement not only on the field but also in the stands. Both teams want to collect important points from this game in order to achieve their goals for the season.
The game between Sportunion St. Pölten and Sportunion Leoben promises interesting challenges for both teams. Who will triumph in the end? The answer to that will be available on Saturday. Further information about this important game is in the report on www.meinkreis.at to find.
