HSV Reunion with Titz

Hannover, coached by former HSV coach Christian Titz, travels to the Elbe with confidence: With four wins from four games, the Lower Saxony team is currently setting the standard in the second league. Thus, the duel presents a challenging benchmark for HSV, even if it is "only" a test. Especially for the newcomers, it’s a chance to make a first impression.

Missing will be Miro Muheim, Daniel Peretz, Warmed Omari, Fabio Balde, Aboubaka Soumahoro, Luka Vuskovic, and Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit. All of them are currently on international duty.
