Germany - VBL 1. Bundesliga 2023/24

Quote from Nirk

I'm not happy, she really lost her spirit since this post

Absolutely disappointing match today. Mutiri is weak since Maase has gone. Kirchhoff is on her maxmimum since two years. The match in Potsdam was so good. Obviously the team is not happy after Masse and Petit left. although both had not so much impact.

Finally only Stuttgart and Schwerin are now fighting for the main round win, with Stuttgart having the chance to secure it with a three point win in Schwerin or a Tie-Break Victory there and a closing win in any way against Potsdam at the last match day of the main round.

Dresden has to defend third place now against Potsdam, all four are already in the upper 5 teams pool of the intermediate round.

Suhl could at best get to fourth place, but Wiesbaden has a small chance to grab their fifth place still: Wiesbaden will be anyway otherwise the best set team in the lower 4 teams pool in intermediate round.

But you shouldn't forget the fight between Aachen, Münster and Vilsbiburg. Aachen is of course in the worst position because they only have one game left and that is against Dresden. That's why they'll probably finish ninth. Münster has the easiest task this weekend with Neuwied and should then overtake Aachen with a win there and then there can be a showdown between Vilsbiburg and Münster on the last match day.

Also donˋt forget about possible point losses/punishments from VBL to several teams… the ranking is totally unpredictable right now

About the young talent in Stuttgart

I was wondering if there was even a TV-match today. Usually the W-Sports channel broadcasts them live here, but it has 'Malaysia Netball' scheduled for 17h. Gotta practice my German and watch through Sport1extra then!

TV match today 17:00 CET Wiesbaden vs Vilsbiburg stream

Probably will be a close and entertaining match, but it's a shame we don't get Schwerin vs Stuttgart as TV match

I don't understand the reason either. That makes no sense. If you don't show the game between 1st and 2nd, there is no justification.

I understand the decision to show this game. For a long time it looked like this game would be about first place in the lower group and the first leg also showed that it could be an extremely exciting game. That of course the Roten Raben, after already stumbling against USC Münster, will also stumble against the Ladies in Black Aachen. Of course, the starting point is now completely different. But since the games have to be scheduled a certain amount in advance, you have to expect something like that.

They probably want to sell more pay subscriptions for Sport1 Extra and Dyn. That is the only reason.

I think we shouldn't complain about the TV match, it's good level and exciting. We'll get to see enough of the top teams in the playoffs

It just annoys me that games like Schwerin-Stuttgart don't have a challenge.

Knollema has been playing really badly in the last few games. Today too. And Rivers isn't in great shape today either

Rivers improved in performance from the 4th set onwards. In addition, bringing in Haneline for Timmerman improved also the team's performance

INDYYYYYYY

How Segura stayed in court with this numbers

Rivers didn’t play entire match.

If Potsdam loses in Stuttgart and Suhl wins against Wiesbaden, then Suhl is 4th and Potsdam 5th.
