It's the second try for points this season as Elversberg and Hansa Rostock battle it out at URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde.

These teams have little in common geographically as Hansa Rostock have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
