Can SG Flensburg roll over BSH?
SG Flensburg-Handewitt have not had the best start to the group phase of the European League so far. After two matchdays, the northern Germans are level on points with their other group rivals at the top of the table. Their pole position is only due to their goal difference.
A landmark match is now on the agenda in order to pull away from the competition. SG Flensburg-Handewitt will face Danish representative BSH in front of a home crowd. As can be seen from the odds of the best bookmakers, the Flensburg handball team is clearly favored. For an SG Flensburg-Handewitt vs. Bjerringbro/Silkeborg bet on the HBL club, odds of only 1.18 are available.
The last time the two clubs met was almost seven years ago. Back then, Flensburg recorded two consecutive victories in the Champions League, which also leads the H2h against their Danish opponents.
It’s quite possible that the next victory beckons. After last weekend’s demonstration of power against HC Erlangen – the SG already led 17:9 at half-time – it is obvious that BSH will also come under the wheels of Flensburg’s offense. Our SG Flensburg-Handewitt vs. Bjerringbro/Silkeborg prediction is aimed precisely at that
SG Flensburg-Handewitt – Statistics & current form
SG Flensburg-Handewitt are back on the international stage. In the group phase, the two-time German champions came out on top against teams such as Kadetten Schaffhausen, Elverum and Lovcen. The Flensburg handball team thus punched its ticket for the main round.
The 46:32 win against Kadetten Schaffhausen gave them extra points for the main round. However, the SG Flensburg-Handewitt lost the first group game of the main round away from home – also against the Kadetten – by 24:25. The SG is tied on points with its other group rivals, but still tops the table with the better goal difference.
Head coach Nicolej Krickau’s team now face their third group match in the EHF European League this week. The SG Flensburg-Handewitt will face group runners-up Bjerringbro/Silkeborg in front of a home crowd. As expected, the Flensburg team are favored against their Danish rivals
The SG is a force in the Flens Arena
Flensburg have won every competitive match at home this season. In these 15 home games, SG Flensburg-Handewitt have also beaten the record champions from Kiel. Internationally, on the other hand, there have been three wins in three home games. In these three encounters, Flensburg-Handewitt scored 38+ goals per match.
It is quite possible that this rate will also be underpinned in the upcoming home game against Bjerringbro/Silkeborg. Flensburg have already emerged victorious in the two previous H2hs. If you are leaning towards a win for the HBL club this time as well, you can only pick up odds of 1.18 for a corresponding SG Flensburg-Handewitt vs Bjerringbro/Silkeborg bet.
To boost these odds, alternative betting options can be considered. For example, there are a number of other betting options in the Bet365 app, especially on the handicap market.
Bjerringbro/Silkeborg – Statistics & current form
Bjerringbro/Silkeborg is still largely a blank slate internationally. Their best result in the EHF European League so far has been a quarter-final appearance. That milestone came in the 2002/03, 2008/09 and 2015/16 seasons, but BSH have not reached the last eight on the international stage in all competitions since then.
It is quite possible that the negative streak will continue this time. The group phase in the main round of the EHF European League 2023/24 started without extra points due to the defeat in the previous round against Vojvodina. However, BSH managed to get revenge in the latest showdown. Bjerringbro/Silkeborg won 26:22 against the Serbian club.
The team of BSH coach Patrick Westerholm had thus won the group against RK Vojvodina, HC Alkaloid and Logrono La Rioja in the previous round. They now head to Flensburg for the showdown with a broad chest. Bjerringbro/Silkeborg have only lost one of their last twelve matches since November 2023
Will BSH remain unbeaten?
Bjerringbro/Silkeborg have remained unbeaten in their last four competitive matches. For head coach Westerholm & Co. there were two draws and two wins. BSH are therefore not in the best of shape going into the showdown against SG Flensburg-Handewitt. In addition, the H2h also speaks against a prediction in favor of the Danish representative.
Bettors who nevertheless want to venture a prediction on the visitors for SG Flensburg-Handewitt vs. Bjerringbro/Silkeborg can currently pick up odds above the 6.00 mark if they are successful.

SG Flensburg-Handewitt – Bjerringbro/Silkeborg tip
SG Flensburg-Handewitt started the year 2024 with two wins and one defeat. The northern German club from the Handball Bundesliga has a record of 8-0-2 in its last ten competitive matches.
