This momentum must now be taken into the home game on Sunday. But beware: The Penguins Bremerhaven are also traveling to Oberwiesenfeld with a tailwind. On Friday, the seventh-placed team in the standings beat Frankfurt 2-1.
Franzreb a safe backstop
Coach Thomas Popiesch has been able to rely on the strong defense around Maximilian Franzreb so far this season. With a save percentage of 92.7 percent, the goalkeeper has played a major role in Bremerhaven conceding only 112 goals - as, incidentally, have the Red Bulls.
Phillip Bruggisser is also one of the Penguins' top scorers (29 points). Within the team, this is only topped by forward Alex Friesen, who has 34 goal contributions (17 goals). Bremerhaven's many close results are striking, as eight of the past nine games ended with only a one-goal difference.
