HC Empor Rostock meets HSG Eider Harde, and the signs couldn't be clearer: Both teams urgently need points for the promotion round, but while Empor is in 8th place in the table with a record of 8:8, Eider Harde is in 7th place with 8:12 points.
The coach of HC Empor Rostock, Michael Jacobsen, is optimistic. After the recent victories against DHK Flensborg (32:21) and HSG Ostsee N/G (43:30), the players are full of self-confidence.

Despite these positive developments, there are also challenges. HC Empor has to do without some injured players. Elias Gansau is struggling with knee problems, his appearance is questionable, and Julian Pratschner is expected to miss several weeks due to pubic bone inflammation. On the other hand, Empor can announce the return of Richard Lößner after his comeback from fourth division club SG Uni Greifswald/Loitz. He will remain with the team with a contract until June 30, 2027.
The next home game will take place on Friday, November 14th at 7 p.m. against HC Eintracht Hildesheim, who are currently in second place with an impressive record of 16:2 behind leaders MTV Braunschweig (18:2). This game also promises pure excitement and could have a significant impact on Rostock's fate this season.

Considering all these factors, the encounter against Eider Harde will be a real test for the Rostock team.

The team is ready to take on the challenge and fans can be excited about what's to come.
