After the opening round of matches it is SG Flensburg-Handewitt who sit atop the Bundesliga (the strongest league in the world as my GCSE German translates the league’s tag-line).  They own top spot by virtue of a 40:20 rout of newly promoted TuSEM Essen.  Other big names, including THW Kiel, also recorded wins in the first round of matches.  Perhaps the most notable result was HSG Wetzlar beating HSV Hamburg.

I hope to be able to write in a bit more depth about the Bundesliga as the season develops but for now point you in the direction of Bet365’s legal live streaming which will have Tuesday’s game between TV 1893 Neuhausen and last season’s EHF Champions League semi finalists Füchse Berlin starting at 7.15pm UK.
