Empor Rostock as outsiders in the DHB Cup against Eintracht Hagen!

An exciting duel awaits HC Empor Rostock in the current DHB Cup season. Next Friday at 7 p.m. they will meet the second division team Eintracht Hagen in the Fiete-Reder-Halle Marienehe. Coach Michael Jacobsen has to deal with a special challenge. His team will go into the game as underdogs, but that could provide additional motivation. HC Empor had successes from last year: in the last round of the cup they eliminated both a first and a second division team, which fuels the hope of another surprise game. NDR reports that Jacobsen is well prepared.

Eintracht Hagen brings a strong team with seven players with Bundesliga experience. This could represent a hurdle for HC Empor, but the Rostock team's form shows that they can also surprise on the pitch. The only player the team will miss is goalkeeper Robert Wetzel, who is ill. All other players are available, which gives Jacobsen a good feeling.

The team at a glance

Mental strength and team spirit are crucial when facing a team as strong as Hagen. Michl Reichardt, 21 years old, plays a special role: Although the talented player left the team after last season, he received a new contract and will now actively participate in the games again. This could give him the opportunity to show his skills on a big stage and thus contribute to the team's success.

The upcoming cup game promises excitement and thrills for the fans. The dreams of another cup fight are awakened. But no matter how the game ends, the Rostock team is ready to give everything and inspire the fans with their fighting spirit. Will they be able to assert themselves again against a stronger opponent? It remains to be seen!
