The next S-Bahn derby is coming up in the 2nd Bundesliga South: TV Planegg-Krailling receives SV Lohhof.
So far, the TV has had little to report, that is about to change.
Krailling / Planegg - It's derby time again in the 2nd Bundesliga South.
For the seventh time, the women of TV Planegg-Krailling will meet local rivals SV Lohhof in the second highest German volleyball division.
The game starts on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. in the Planegger Feodor-Lynen-Gymnasium.
The team from the northern Munich district is currently in a good mood, most recently four wins in a row.
The third person in the table only delivered one sentence.
Although TV head coach Florian Saller booked these successes of Saturday's opponent against the teams from Dresden (9th), Stuttgart (12th), Freisen (7th) and Waldgirmes (8th) in the lower half of the table "more like mandatory victories", he expects a very stable opponent.
“They come with a lot of self-confidence,” says Saller.
Volleyball, 2nd Bundesliga South: Prominent line-up at SV Lohhof
Although head coach Elena Kiesling's third party last year, some players from the previous season are no longer listed in the squad.
However, the SVL can still rely on many good volleyball players with great experience for the derby.
This includes the strong setter Mona Boyer, who is completing her second season in the north of Munich after playing in the Bundesliga in Berlin and Vilsbiburg.
With the experienced Michaela Henry, who reactivated the SVL, another ex-Bundesliga player could join the guests in the derby.
The two newcomers Clara Fischer from TV Altdorf and the former Kraillinger Sabrina Himmel from Gauting bring second division experience to the team of the six-time German champions.

Despite two defeats in a row, Saller also wants to see an increase in form in his team: "I am confident because we have recently taken a step forward." Feller has to do without, hopes for more courage than in the previous duels.
Last season, Planegg suffered a 3-1 defeat in Lohhof after a 3-1 defeat in the first leg.
“I hope that the team can hide the fact that there are many familiar faces on the other side.
In the last games against Lohhof we failed because we were too nice, ”said Saller.
TV Planegg-Krailling: Attack works, block defense has to work better
According to Saller, the fact that he sees his team at an advantage in the attacking area speaks for a second derby win - the only success was achieved by TV in the 3-2 home win in April 2019.
But the block defense should also work better this time than last.
Even though the eleventh in the table from the Würmtal goes into the derby as an outsider, Saller is aggressive: "We were more afraid of Lohhof."
