Elbflorenz secured another victory in the 2. Bundesliga, beating N-Lübeck 37:31 on Saturday evening. The hosts moved further clear at the top of the table with their third consecutive win. To be fair, the result was expected given where both sides sit in the standings. By then the gap between them had grown wider with each round.
Elbflorenz are sitting unbeaten at the summit with six points from three matches. They have not dropped a single point so far this season. The victory extended their winning run to four games across all competitions. And here's the thing — they have been scoring freely, averaging over 35 goals per match in recent outings.
N-Lübeck are struggling at the bottom, currently 15th with zero points from two draws. They have not found the back of the net in their last three league games. The away side came for a cross they never reached, unable to break through Elbflorenz's defence. It has been a difficult start to the campaign for the visitors.
The result leaves Elbflorenz two points clear of their nearest challengers. N-Lübeck remain adrift at the foot of the table, still searching for their first victory. The home side ground out the win without needing to chase the game. They controlled the tempo from the opening whistle.
What matters now is whether Elbflorenz can maintain their momentum. They have shown they can handle pressure in tight situations. N-Lübeck need to find some form quickly if they want to avoid trouble. The season is young, but the message has been sent.
