DHB Cup: Derby showdown! DRHV welcomes SC Magdeburg in Dessau

An exciting duel is coming up: Dessau-Roßlauer HV (DRHV) will face none other than the reigning Champions League winners, SC Magdeburg, in the second round of the DHB Cup. The draw took place on Saturday as part of the Super Cup in Munich, with ex-national player Steffen Weinhold drawing the lots. A real highlight is now on the agenda for the Dessau team, who defeated third division team Tus Vinnhorst 31:28 in the first round. The game will take place in the Anhalt Arena, the home of the DRHV, but when exactly is still unclear.

The second round matches are scheduled to take place between September 30th and October 2nd, although the match against SC Magdeburg will take place at a later date due to Magdeburg's participation in the Club World Cup. Mark-Henrik Schmedt, managing director of SC Magdeburg, expressed his anticipation of the upcoming derby, which is very important for Magdeburg, especially with the goal of reaching the round of 16. The three top teams from the last round of the cup are waiting there.

A duel of rivals

The clash between Dessau-Roßlauer HV and SC Magdeburg is more than just another cup game; it's a real Saxony-Anhalt derby. The Magdeburgers competed in the Dessau Arena last season when the GETEC Arena was occupied and won 30:26. The memory of this encounter intensifies the rivalry and the anticipation of the upcoming match. Spectators can look forward to an exciting game that is sure to arouse a lot of emotions.

On the side of the Magdeburgers, they take their hats off to the Dessauers; this respect indicates a heated game. SC DHfK Leipzig and ThSV Eisenach, who are also challenged in the second round, know that you can't take things lightly here. With the right attitude, it could be a crowning experience for both Dessau and Magdeburg.

The way to the round of 16

The teams now have to focus and work towards the goal of the round of 16. This will take place on November 5th and 6th. Both teams will do everything they can to make it to the next round. This is an excellent opportunity for spectators to experience high-class handball in their region. In addition, the limit of 300 pieces for the new limited jersey “With you on the way to Cologne” from SC Magdeburg, which went on sale on August 19th, will also provide additional incentive in this round.

The DHB Cup system offers teams the opportunity to present themselves in front of a wide audience and possibly create surprises. On the last occasion to reach the Lidl Final4 in Cologne, there were exciting games and thrilling moments that will also be remembered this season.

All that remains to be said for all handball fans in the region is: save the date, because the derby between Dessau-Roßlauer HV and SC Magdeburg promises to be a real festival of handball.
