HSG Varel is fighting for its first home win against Ahlener SG!

Next Saturday, November 8th, the Manfred Schmidt sports hall in Altjührden will be the venue for an eagerly awaited clash: HSG Varel will face Ahlener SG at 7.30 p.m. This encounter could be a decisive step for the Varel team towards adding points to their home balance. The last game ended for the HSG with a 32:32 draw against OHV Aurich, which made the team sit up and take notice and increased their motivation for the upcoming challenge. Handball Varel reports that coach Arek Blacha is putting intense focus on the opponent.

The Ahlener SG is struggling with difficulties in the current season and is currently in eleventh place in the third division North-West. A weak start to the season, which began with four defeats in a row, casts a shadow over the team. However, there seems to be light in the darkness: after an unexpected defeat against TV Bissendorf-Holte (28:33) in front of 580 spectators, important victories against Wilhelmshavener HV (32:24), TV Anderten (36:30) and TSG A-H Bielefeld (30:28) followed. So the people of Ahlen are fighting, and the people of Varel must be warned.

Ahlen strengths and key players

Coach Blacha sums up Ahlen's strengths: "The defense is compact and has a strong middle block." With backcourt player David Wiencek and left winger Benedikt Bayer, the guests also have some important players in their ranks who are feared for their goals: Wiencek has scored 55 goals so far, including 14 from seven meters, and Bayer follows with 40 goals. In addition, Shawn Pauly and Marvin Michalczik are important pillars in the Ahlen game.

It is therefore essential for HSG Varel to minimize their own defensive errors and show patience in attack. “We are highly motivated to get our first home win,” says Blacha, explaining his team’s fighting spirit. All players are available, apart from Fynn Menne, who is in advanced training due to a shoulder injury.

Fight for the table positions

Exciting times have begun in the third division. Catch-up games will take place this week and the league will be played in four seasons. The top two teams in each season advance to the promotion round. In the north-west, TV Emsdetten has taken the lead in the table, while the Varel team want to continue their performance in the table. There are still a few games at HSG that could have a decisive impact on whether they stay in the league and their chances of promotion. Kicker will keep fans updated on these developments.

In the upcoming game against Ahlener SG it is time for the Varel team to prove their home strength. The team is ready to give it their all and the support of the fans could make the difference in the fight for their first home win.
