Will the Northern Lights get their first win of the season?
An uneven matchup on paper is coming up in Minden when the promoted team welcomes the three-time German champions and winners of the last two editions of the EHF European League from the far north. We have a tip and preview for Monday evening’s clash between Minden and Flensburg-Handewitt at the end of the third round of Bundesliga matches!
After two match days in the still young season, the home team has one point and the visitors have two. The visiting team, coached by Slovenian Aleš Pajovič, got off to a false start with an away draw in Wetzlar.
Things didn’t get any better after that, as they only managed a draw against Stuttgart in their first home game of the season, despite being the clear favorites again. For the upcoming match between Minden and Flensburg-Handewitt, the prediction is a home win, including a handicap of +5.5 points for the hosts.
We also expect more than 27.5 goals from the home team. This is a threshold that both of the visitors’ previous opponents have exceeded, and Flensburg’s defense has conceded an impressive 31 goals on average so far this season.
Minden – Flensburg-Handewitt Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
The visitors are unbeaten in 25 competitive games against Minden and have only failed to win one of those games! From a statistical point of view, it is therefore easy to see why the odds for Minden against Flensburg-Handewitt are clearly in favor of the North Germans.

Minden – Flensburg-Handewitt Tip
Both teams started the season with a draw. However, the conclusion after the result was very different. While the home team was very happy with the point against Göppingen, Flensburg was very disappointed after their draw at Wetzlar.
The visitors’ expectations are simply much higher than those of the hosts, who, as a newly promoted team, are primarily looking to stay in the league. Minden then suffered a defeat, while the visitors recorded another draw. The false start from the perspective of the handball players from the Baltic Sea is thus complete.
For the match between Minden and Flensburg-Handewitt, betting odds on a home win – combined with a handicap of +5.5 goals for the hosts – are therefore recommended. Of course, the northerners are the favorites, but the home team’s two performances so far have been quite impressive, while their opponents still have plenty of room for improvement, which is why we do not expect a heavy defeat for the East Westphalians.
