THW Kiel – TVB Stuttgart

Indoor Bundesliga handball match, 11th round, at the MERKUR OSTSEEHALLE in Kiel, on October 31, 2026 at 19:00 local time. Kiel won in Erlangen on October 24 after an effective first half, but then experienced missed chances, turnovers, and a decline in fluidity.

Stuttgart had 9:9 points before October 22, had lost 28–29 in Magdeburg on October 18, then beat Bietigheim 39–29 on October 22. These performances were achieved against opponents and in contexts different from this trip to Kiel.

The pages consulted do not document a recent matchup between Kiel and Stuttgart with the date, season, and score. The usable history between the two teams therefore remains incomplete for measuring a direct advantage or a predictive trend.

Emil Madsen was absent on October 24 due to a muscle tear in the adductors, and his availability on October 31 remained uncertain. Rune Dahmke was absent on October 24 due to a left wrist injury, with no known return date.

Eric Johansson had been ruled out for several weeks on October 3 due to a muscle injury to the right knee/calf, with no confirmed updated status as of October 26. The final availability of these three players has not been established.

No reliable Stuttgart absences are documented.

Kiel can benefit from home support, a fast start and its ability to capitalize on turnovers to impose the pace. However, this scenario depends on the depth actually available in its rotation.

Stuttgart can stay in contention thanks to Häfner, the leading scorer presented with 70 goals and a 74.5% success rate on October 20, as well as Darmoul, who scored eight goals in Magdeburg and drives an attack capable of accelerating after the break. Its limitation is the lack of complete data on goalkeepers, rotations and defensive trends, while its recent results do not directly measure its ability to withstand Kiel.

The lineups and final list of selected players have not yet been established. The match is scheduled at the MERKUR OSTSEEHALLE in Kiel, in the league, with no outdoor surface or set-based format.

No bet selected: some odds are below 1.20; the estimated edge is not sufficiently supported.
