All to play for in Flensburg

The match in Flensburg between SG and Portland San Antonio will be a decisive one on Sunday. Flensburg were not able to win a single match so far and this will be their last chance to fight for the semi-finals.

The last game ended with a clear Portland victoryPortland San Antonio are similarly eager to get points, otherwise they can also say goodbye to their dreams. In general, an away victory is badly needed to win a Main Round group and this will be the last chance for the Spanish side.

Accordingly, the loser of this encounter will be out of the semi-final race. The winner will save some of their chances for a week at least.

Other than mathematics: the German side will try to portray a positive image of themselves in the Champions League after reaching the final last year. However, it is just as important for Portland San Antonio that lost their chances to go for the Asobal League title this season and their only chance to save this season is a good result in the CL.

If Portland should lose on Sunday, the season is almost over for the Cabanas team. Then they can only play for the Spanish Cup and for the third place in the Spanish League, a position that would qualify them for the Champions League once again.
