TVB Stuttgart suffers another defeat: Lions win 38:34

The handball game between the Rhein-Neckar Löwen and TVB Stuttgart on October 26, 2025 in the SAP Arena offered everything the fans could wish for - drama, exciting twists and a high-class performance from the athletes. In front of an impressive 9,248 spectators, a thrilling duel developed that ultimately ended with a score of 34:38 ​​for the Lions. Another painful defeat for TVB, who have now been looking for a win for seven games and have a modest score of 4:16.

The game remained open until the 52nd minute, when the score was still 31:30 for the Lions. However, the hosts then pulled ahead decisively to 35:31 and thus secured victory. Haukur Thrastarson from the Lions was particularly outstanding, getting on the top scorer list with 14 goals. For TVB, Kai Häfner was the best thrower of the game with 12 goals, while Kasper Lien (6 goals) and Simone Mengon (5 goals) also had a strong performance.

Coach voices and tactical analysis

Coach Misha Kaufmann of TVB Stuttgart commented after the game. He highlighted his team's positive attitude and stable attack, but stressed the need to work on defense. “We have to pay attention to the details,” says Kaufmann. These words come after a mixed season in which the team has so far performed inconsistently.

The results of the season so far reflect these inconsistencies. With a mix of narrow defeats and draws, the TVB has nothing to give away. The final results are as follows:

• TVB – HSV Hamburg 33:36
• SC Magdeburg – TVB 32:23
• TVB – Füchse Berlin 30:36
• Rhein-Neckar Löwen – TVB 38:34

The next challenges are already just around the corner. The DHB Cup round of 16 against SG Flensburg-Handewitt on December 5, 2025 could bring a decisive turning point to turn things around. A win could give them the confidence they need, followed by further league games, all scheduled for November and December.

Outlook for upcoming games

There are some important games coming up for TVB in the next few weeks. Here is an overview of the upcoming dates:

• 5. November: TVB – SG Flensburg-Handewitt (DHB-Pokal-Achtelfinale)
