Berlin (dpa / bb) - With a clear objective, handball Bundesliga team Füchse Berlin starts the second game of the group phase in the European League.

On Tuesday (8.45 p.m. / DAZN) the people of the capital will receive the Slovak representative Tatran Presov in the Max-Schmeling-Halle.

"We play at home and of course we want to win," announced coach Jaron Siewert.

For the foxes, it will also be a question of confirming the upward trend of the past few weeks.

The last two league games against Wetzlar and Bergische HC were won.

In between there was the one-week corona quarantine.

“For us, however, it shouldn't matter how long the break was, we want to be focused again straight away.

We have to act exactly as we did in the games before, ”said Siewert.

Due to corona cases, the foxes have only been able to play one game in the group phase.

The Berliners are currently second in the table, behind the Swedes from Kristianstad, who have already played three games.

The first four teams in the group of six advance.

The Slovaks have only just played one game.

Siewert demands patience against Presov.

«I think we can expect long attacks.

We have to be focused until the last second, ”he said.

But the foxes don't really know what to expect from Presov.

"It will be a little surprise bag with which squad you compete," said Siewert.

Because the composition differed between league games and the European League on central positions.

"So we're excited to see which players we'll meet on Tuesday," said Siewert.
