This is the third, and the crucial match in the fight for position in the semi final of German championship play off. The arena has been sold out for days, and the game will be a proper battle - it is the semi final at stake here after all. The won't be lacking motivation, and the teams are quite tied. Schwerin are defending the title, but their team this season is young, and Hippa got injured early in the season. They finished the regular season in position 5, one point short of Aachen in position 4. Aachen is the third best home team in the league with a 8-2 record, just like the two best teams of the regular season. Each of these team won the home head on head match this season, 192 and 186 points were scored, respectfully. First quarter final game in Aachen was settled after 4 sets - 3-1, with 213 points scored! The second semi final game was not, however, particularly dramatic. Schwerin won home without losing a single set. Aachen were not as good as they normally are, and Schwering seemed to be more motivated. Three out of their four head to head matches this season were over at a margin that is offered today. Both teams will do their best, and we seem to be in for another thriller match. Four sets are a realistic outcome here, which means the expected margin will be at 183,5-184,5 points, and it wouldn't even be surprised if the match is settled in the fifth set. I don't want to try and guess the winner, but over is here the best choice.
