Hessenderby in Frankfurt – Huskies are guests – FFH.de
After the Kassel Huskies’ surprising 4-1 win against EC Bad Nauheim on Thursday evening, the North Hesse travel to their big rivals on the Main with a lot of self-confidence on Saturday. The Löwen Frankfurt – almost in top cast – expect weakened Kassel Huskies.
“It feels very, very good. We showed that we can win games even with a very small squad,” says Huskies striker Lukas Laub after the derby against Bad Nauheim in the FFH interview. It is precisely this self-confidence that the North Hesse want to take with them to Frankfurt.
Huskies are hoping for newcomer Broda and two returnees
“There’s a lot in it if we throw ourselves into the shots and give everything,” Laub also knows before the derby against Frankfurt. Of course, the North Hesse hope for a few returnees and newcomer Joel Broda. Broda, newly signed just this week, could help the sled dogs immediately if his licensing is expected to be completed.
In addition, some players suffering from Corona are back in the starting blocks. According to FFH information, a striker and a defender will return on Saturday. On Monday, again against Frankfurt, at least one other defender. But it is clear that all medical checks must first be completed.
Frankfurt squad full
“In games like this, it is decided who shows more determination and more passion,” says Löwen sports director Franz Fritzmeier. It is clear that the lions are the clear favorites going into the derby. After the last four wins in a row, the men from Main are back at the top of the table. This is mainly due to the broad squad. With Adam Mitchell, Brett Breitkreutz and Nathan Burns, the Frankfurt team signed three top players during the season.
No other team in the DEL 2 has such quality across the board. This is currently paying off in a short time, especially given the mass of games. Frankfurt can also draw on almost everything against Kassel.
