German Super Cup – and you can watch it in Britain


Today’s the start of the German season with the DHB Super Cup  between the all-conquering THW Kiel and and the not-so-all-conquering SG Flensburg-Handewitt.  I’m going to go out on no limbs at all and predict a comfortable win for ‘the zebras’ as google translate tells me Kiel are nicknamed.  Kiel haven’t had the Super Cup all their own way in recent years, losing to HSV Hamburg a couple of times, but I’m going to back the favourite on this and mark it down as the first trophy of the new season for THW.

If you want to watch legally you can via the streaming service at Bet365.  

You don’t need to gamble to sign up but you do need to have a positive balance on your account (I think you can set this up for £1).  Leave it untouched and you can watch whatever else Bet365 shows – last year they covered 3-4 matches from the Bundesliga and Asobal (Spanish League) every week in addition to live streaming the 2011 Women’s World Championship from Brazil and Great Britain’s qualifying match in Austria.

The match is down to start at 7.15pm (BST) and Bet365 is here.  You sign up for an account in the right-hand corner.

    They are the Zebras because they play in black and white stripes, and yes their club mascot is indeed a zebra. The match is also a regional derby.

      I’m going to look out for a giant zebra enthusing the crowd then.

      They’re playing it in Munich I believe though which seems a bit unfair on two such northerly teams.
