Wednesday, 4 June:

TSV Hannover-Burgdorf vs. THW Kiel (19:00 CEST, live on Dyn and world-wide on HBLTV)
  • The Recken from Hannover-Burgdorf seem to have run out of steam, with the 32:34 defeat in Flensburg being their fourth in a row. Nevertheless, TSV had already secured sixth place and the European Cup participation, and cannot be caught by seventh-placed Gummersbach.
  • Kiel extended their winning streak to six games with a lucky 38:37 victory over Hamburg and are now fourth in the table, four points behind Melsungen and three points ahead of Flensburg. THW had already qualified for the European League in April as cup winners.
  • The top scorers of both teams are almost neck and neck: Renars Uscins (Recken) has 203 goals to his name, Emil Madsen (THW) is on 200.
  • THW have won twelve of the last 13 matches against Hannover-Burgdorf (first leg 28:24), the only exception being a 36:33 defeat in the previous season. The Zebras lead 27:3 in terms of wins.
SC DHfK Leipzig vs. SG BBM Bietigheim (19:00 CEST, live on Dyn and world-wide on HBLTV)
  • Leipzig have secured their place in the league with 21:43 points, despite three consecutive defeats. On the last match day, they lost 31:32 to Gummersbach.
  • On the other hand, everything is at stake for SG BBM Bietigheim – after missing out on match point in the relegation battle against Erlangen (23:29), Iker Romero's team is in second-last place with 15:49 points, but only one point behind Erlangen and Stuttgart. Previously, the SG had earned five points from four games. In the last game of the season, the SG will face SC Magdeburg.
  • Leipzig have won all three previous games against Bietigheim, including a narrow 29:28 victory in the first leg.
MT Melsungen vs. TBV Lemgo Lippe (19:00 CEST, live on Dyn and world-wide on HBLTV)
  • MT Melsungen can no longer win the championship or qualify for the Champions League on its own – they are two points behind league leaders Berlin and one point behind SC Magdeburg. After losing the top match in the capital, MT maintained its home aura with a 26:25 win over Eisenach, bringing its record to 16 wins in 16 games. The cup finalist will play their last game at relegated side at Potsdam.
  • TBV are eighth in the table with 37:27 points, but were overtaken by Gummersbach after their 29:31 defeat against Magdeburg on the last match day.
  • Melsungen have the best defence in the DAIKIN HBL with 854 goals conceded, while Lemgo is third in this ranking with 875 goals conceded.
  • MT have won the last four games against Lemgo, with the first leg ending 29:20. Overall, the record is almost even with 17:15 wins in favour of MT.
ThSV Eisenach vs. 1. VfL Potsdam (19:00 CEST, live on Dyn and world-wide on HBLTV)
  • Eisenach have lost their last six league games, but the last three were very unfortunate away defeats, with a 25:26 loss in Melsungen, a 29:31 loss in Hamburg and a 32:33 loss in Magdeburg. The Thuringians are eleventh with 25:39 points and secured their place in the league early on.
  • Three wins and 29 defeats are the current record of bottom-placed 1. VfL Potsdam, which are relegated to the 2nd HBL after one season. After their sensational success in Hanover, Emir Kurtagic's team recently lost 21:25 to Göppingen.
  • Marko Grgic (Eisenach), the DAIKIN HBL's top scorer, is still 20 goals short of the 300-goal mark.
  • ThSV won the first leg 31:26.
SC Magdeburg vs. SG Flensburg-Handewitt (20:00 CEST, live on Dyn and world-wide on HBLTV)
  • SC Magdeburg celebrated their twelfth league victory in a row with a 31:29 win. They are currently in second place with 53:11 points, one point behind the Füchse and one point ahead of Melsungen, meaning that they still have the Champions League qualification in its own hands. SCM’s last game of the season will be played in Bietigheim.
  • After a lucky draw against relegation candidates SG BBM Bietigheim, SG recently won 34:32 against TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, moving ahead of the Recken in the table.
