The German derby in VELUX EHF Champions League 2016/2017 between Rhein Neckar Lowen and THW Kiel on Thursday (19.00 hrs), where the first quarter-finalists of the European elite competition will be decided. The “Lions” won first match in Kiel 25:24. This could help Nikolaj Jakobsen guys to crush the big rivals, but also missing of some important “Zebras” players like Domagoj Duvnjak or Rene Toft Hansen.
The last problem for Alfred Gislason is absence of Steffen Weinhold. The 31-years old right back has neck-muscle problems. He won’t be able to help his team-mates in the most important match of the season.
