Fivers start with a damper: patience is required in the fight for points!

The new handball season is in full swing and the Fivers from Margareten suffered a small setback with their season opener in Graz. Despite a certain disappointment, coach Peter Eckl says that the defeat is painful, but he is already looking to the future. "The season has just begun and we have to be patient. This will also be crucial in the next game against Bregenz," emphasizes Eckl. The team is very rejuvenated and is not yet prepared for everything that appears in the first games. Bregenz comes to Vienna with a strong win behind them and will certainly pose a challenge.

In the first round, both teams indicated that they had offensive strengths in their repertoire. A lively exchange of blows can be expected, which will certainly heat up the audience. The match between Fivers and Bregenz next weekend is an exciting opportunity to turn the first impression of the season around and gain a sense of success.

High tension in the HLA master league

Another highlight is coming up on October 11, 2023: The Fivers will meet the BT Füchse Auto Pichler in the top game and fight for the lead in the HLA Master League. The Füchse have won four out of five games so far, their only defeat was against Sparkasse Schwaz Handball Tirol, who are currently in second place. The Fivers, on the other hand, urgently need a home win in order not only to take the lead in the table, but also to optimally prepare for the upcoming European Cup game against HC Karvina.

Coach Benjamin Teras from the BT Füchsen has a selection of strong players, including Neuhold, Schiffleitner and Santos, who are third in the top scorers list with 34 goals. This balanced offense, with seven players scoring in double figures, challenges the Fivers. Eckl expects a close and hard-fought game, but will want to learn from last week, in which several players were called up to the national team. This time was used to specifically improve cover work.

The fight for the derby points

There are other exciting encounters in the league. The reigning champions Krems take on the BT Füchse and also show their defensive skills, as captain Kenan Hasecic emphasizes. After a narrow victory in the first round, the West Viennese team are also in a celebratory mood as they look forward to a derby against Atzgersdorf. Bela Wiegrefe emphasizes the anticipation of the home game and is optimistic that they can fight for more points in the fight for position in the table.

For real handball fans, the coming round promises a lot of action and exciting games. The cards for the games can be purchased through the partner ticketmaster be acquired. Be there when the Fivers and their competitors fight for much more than just points!
