Rostocker HC: A win against Lintfort should secure promotion!
The handball players of Rostocker HC started the decisive phase of the first half of the season with fresh enthusiasm. The second win in the sixth game of the season against Bergischer HC with 30:25 not only gave the Dolphins the necessary self-confidence, but also shows that they are ready to use the momentum for the coming games. There are still three crucial games in the 2nd Bundesliga scheduled in the next few weeks before the World Cup break begins. The teams that the RHC will compete against are anything but easy: TuS Lintfort, 1. FSV Mainz and HSG Freiburg are waiting.
Coach Dominic Buttig makes no secret of the fact that the upcoming opponent TuS Lintfort, currently in 11th place with 4:8 points, will be a challenge. The away game on November 1st at 6 p.m. will be a real test for his players. “We have to keep the intensity high and deliver our performance,” said Buttig. His protégés shone in the last game with setbacks and a strong comeback, which further fuels the positive mood.
Personnel situation before the match
During the preparation, however, the Rostock HC has to deal with some personnel absences. Marie-Sophie Weitzel will not be available due to a torn cruciate ligament and Charlotta Beuck is ill. However, Merja Wohlfeil is ready to play again after a long injury. However, Emma Dubrau's appearance remains to be seen as her fitness still needs to be clarified. The return of Jette Köppen, who returned to the field after a long injury break, gives the team an additional boost.
Goals for the upcoming games
The starting position of Rostock HC could hardly be more important. The next games against 1. FSV Mainz, currently in 7th place with 6:6 points, and HSG Freiburg, which is at the bottom of the table (13th place, 3:9 points), are crucial in order to improve the points balance. A clear focus is placed on collecting as many points as possible, because the table situation in the 2nd Bundesliga is tight and every point counts. “The goal is not only to win the game, but also to further build our self-confidence,” explains Buttig.
The Dolphins go into the remaining games before the World Cup break with their heads held high and a positive mood. With the will to give everything, they could deliver some surprises this season.
