Bergischer HC Prepares for Clash Against Eintracht Hagen
The Bergischer HC is set to face Eintracht Hagen in an exciting handball match this Sunday at 5:00 PM. This encounter promises to be a thrilling one, as both teams have been in fine form recently.
In the last month, the Bergischer HC has won three consecutive home games, including a 30:27 victory over VfL Lübeck-Schwartau last Sunday. The team is aiming to build on this momentum and achieve a "golden December," securing a comfortable lead at the top of the table.
Coach Arnor Gunnarsson and his co-trainer Markus Pütz are focusing on stability from the start in the upcoming game against Eintracht Hagen. However, they acknowledge that the team needs to improve in certain areas.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Hagen has recorded a draw and three wins in their last five games. Key players for Eintracht Hagen include Jan von Boenigk, who has scored the most field goals (69), and Pierre Busch, the top scorer overall (75 goals, including 22 from seven meters). Eintracht Hagen usually starts with a 6:0 defense but often switches to a 3:2:1 variation.
There will be a brothers' reunion in this match, with Robin Granlund playing for BHC and Max Granlund representing Eintracht Hagen. The rest of the BHC squad should be available for the game, while Soerven Servos has resumed light training after recovering from illness but won't play yet.
The Bergischer HC wants to show dominance, something they haven't done recently and want to change. The coaches expect an offensively-oriented defense from Eintracht Hagen.
The Bergischer HC also has a home game against Dessau-Roßlauer HV on the 2nd of Christmas at 4:00 PM. Fans are eagerly waiting for these upcoming matches to witness some exciting handball action.

Meanwhile, Eintracht Hagen, with their key players like Jan von Boenigk and Pierre Busch, have been equally impressive in their recent football matches.
