The handball players of SG Flensburg-Handewitt are facing a groundbreaking encounter in the Champions League.
Against the Ukrainian champions Motor Zaporozhye in the home game on Thursday (8.45 p.m. / DAZN) a victory is essential if the North Germans want to keep their chances of reaching the playoff round.
“We have to and want to win,” said SG coach Maik Machulla on Wednesday.
Flensburg - Flensburg are currently last in group B with 1: 9 points. Saporoschje is in sixth place with 4: 6 points, which means progress.
"But we are not allowed to look at the table so much and not pack our rucksacks so full," warned the 44-year-old Machulla that his players should be relaxed.

The Lithuanian Aidenas Malasinskas and the Belarusian Barys Pukhouski would “act very cleverly”.
The use of Mads Mensah Larsen is still questionable with the Flensburgers, who are already troubled in terms of personnel.
