Although Wetzlar is not among the top Bundesliga clubs, the popularity of the club in the past two years was incredibly increase. The reason behind is simple: Ivano Balic, the greatest handball player of all times, spent his last two active handball years in Wetzlar. But Balic is not there now, and Wetzlar still has attractive squad, composed of experienced as well as talented young players that can compete with the top German teams. The back line with Bliznac, the experienced Mirkulovski and the promising Montenegrin Vladan Lipovina sounds like a powerful weapon in attack. Add to this the ex-Porto pivot, Joao Ferraz and the French representative Guillaume Joli and you have a team which has enough knowledge as well as young potential to win almost any team in HBL. They already started well in the first round with the win against Stuttgart. However, a decisive factor for the match on Saturday will be how Wandschneider will put all the puzzels to oppose the favorites on paper, Fuchse Berlin.

Fuchse Berlin needs to take the 2 points


The team from Berlin on the other side, lost the first match against MT Melsungen, in what was expected to be a difficult match for them. Their match in the Rittal Arena will not be less complicated. On paper they seem to have a better squad then Wetzlar. The names of the national German goalkeeper Silvio Heinevetter, and the amazing play makers such as Bartolomiej Jaszka, Petar Nenadic and Drago Vukovic are sufficient illustration of the high quality of the team. As online gambling sites in Germany note, they also have the experience on their side, since many of them played for several years in the top European competitions such as the Champions League. Needless to say that Dagur Sigursson will start an absolutely open match attacking fearlessly the opponents. A risky option since the solid defence of Wetzlar can easily reform itself into a fast break going through the wings. What is the smartest strategy to be applied on the Wetzlar vs Fuchse Berlin duel is something that only the Icelandic strategist knows for sure.

There are several interesting duels on the Wetzlar vs Fuchse match that we will watch on Saturday but the one between Filip Mirkulovski and Bartolomiej Jaszka seems to be the most exciting and most decisive one. Mirkuovski has for years played on a top Champions League level with his former club Metalurg Skopje becoming famous for his sudden penetrations into the six meters zone as well as the crucial defensive roles. Jaszka is also well known for the same moves on the central back position but unfortunately he functions only in one direction: the attack. When both of them are at their high then their rivals have lots of things to worry about. Jaszka has the advantage to be considerably faster than Mirkulovski, but the wise and not so fair-play tricks of the Macedonian in defence can easily make the Polish representative pretty nervous on the court. This in return can have severe consequences for the organization of the game of the foxes, gambling websites online report.
