SG Flensburg-Handewitt winning the gold in the Bundesliga this season seems unlike considering how SC Magdeburg and Füchse Berlin are playing. But Nicolej Krickau’s team is putting on the pressure after beating Hannover-Burgdorf, 31–28, on Saturday.
For a long time, the Bundesliga has felt like a 2 horse race between Berlin and Magdeburg, but Flensburg is refusing to give up on the league title hope. Sure, they are 3 points behind Magdeburg and 4 points behind Berlin with one more game played, but as long as there are matches to play and Flensburg do their job, there is hope.
And Flensburg is doing its job. On Saturday they defeated a difficult team to beat in Hannover-Burgdorf, winning the game 31–28.
Johannes Golla had himself a game, scoring 9 goals on 11 attempts, and Jim Gottfridsson was essential as well with his 5 goals and 6 assists.
The 2 top teams are playing today. Magdeburg is playing away against Eisenach and Berlin welcomes Wetzlar to the capital.
