Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The five Hamburg hockey teams in the men's Bundesliga are under pressure to succeed on Saturday.
After the Uhlenhorster HC, the Harvestehuder THC, the Club an der Alster and the Hamburger Polo Club lost their first quarter-final game last weekend, another defeat in the "Best of three" mode would mean the end of the title fight .
The Großflottbeker THGC, on the other hand, can only prevent relegation with two wins against TSV Mannheim.
The UHC is the only Hamburg representative to have home rights.
Although the team of coach Benedikt Schmidt-Busse had to accept the highest defeat of the quintet with the 0: 3 at the Berliner HC, they would force a third game on Sunday with a 1: 0 win.
“It's an open thing.
I am confident that we can do it.
But we have to improve offensively, ”said the coach.
The Alster men, on the other hand, are guests of co-favorite Rot-Weiss Köln.
Polo competes with defending champion Uhlenhorst Mülheim.
The HTHC, which last weekend had no scoring as well as the other Hamburg clubs, are fighting for progress at the Mannheimer HC.

The Alster women, on the other hand, only need one win against Berlin HC to move into the finals again (May 8th / 9th).
This also applies to the UHC women against Rot-Weiss Köln.
The HTHC is just as 0: 1 behind in comparison with the Düsseldorf HC as the women of the GTHGC, who fight against relegation at Rüsselsheim RK.
