Even though Oldenburg are an "over" team, today that gets out of context. First, it's a derby duel of the 18th round between teams who are only two points apart and where points matter a lot. By winning, Oldenburg would be one of the four teams who will fight for the title this season, and Leipzig would be one point away from the leading Metzingen. Leipzig have the third best defense in the championship, five tied unders for today's margin, three deep unders in the duels against Metzingen (23-26, 24-25, 25-27), but just like Oldenburg, they are a good offensive team. What's most important for today, maybe, is the fact that Leipzig will be without their best player Kudlacz. Kudlacz is Leipzig's best scorer with 86 goals (70 from the floor) who didn't miss a single match this season and who almost plays for the entire 60 minutes. It's also known that Oldenburg are playing without three of their long injured players (Wenzl, C. Muller and N. Jensen). In a situation when we have a match of great point value and with decimated rosters on both sides, it's hard to expect that we will see the same epilogue as from the first head-to-head in Leipzig at the start of the season (Leipzig won 36-27). Especially since Leipzig are withou Kudlacz who scored nine goals in that first match.
