Derby matches highlight round 2 of the EHF European League Women
The EHF European League Women 2024/25 group phase continues this weekend, as a trio of German clubs is leading in three of the four groups (A, C and D) after round 1. HSG Bensheim/Auerbach Flames, Thüringer HC and HSG Blomberg-Lippe will all be put to difficult tests in round 2 against Super Amara Bera Bera, ATTICGO Bm Elche and Motherson Mosonmagyarovari KC, respectively.
Additionally, group B's exciting matches continue, while JDA Bourgogne Dijon Handball will welcome KGHM MKS Zaglebie Lubin in one of the highlight matches from group C.
I am glad that the international competition has started for us. It is simply something special, especially for a club like Bensheim. We got off to a good start in Norway, but I think we will be up against a different calibre on Saturday, especially physically. I hope we will see a lot of spectators in Elsenfeld.
Our game away in Larvik will be a really tough and hard game. They did not play the best game in Thüringer, but we are prepared for the full power from this team and we will fight the whole game for the win.
After a good performance in Ikast, we now face the German league leaders. So another tough match, but this time we hope that the home field will turn out in our favour when the match is decided at the end.
Of course, travelling to Hungary is still new territory for us. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the away game and hope that many fans will be in the hall. We would like to build on our home game and our performance against Dijon and pick up the next points.
We are determined to bounce back on Saturday after three straight defeats. I believe in us. It is going to be a tough match, but our aim will be to get back to playing our game and defending with solidarity.
