SC Magdeburg defeated HSG Wetzlar 38–28 in the DHB Pokal at their home venue on 23 September 2026. The result extended SC Magdeburg’s unbeaten run against Wetzlar to nine consecutive victories, maintaining a perfect record in these encounters. Wetzlar suffered their fourth loss in five matches, having not secured a win in this fixture during that period.

SC Magdeburg scored 38 goals while limiting Wetzlar to 28, a margin of ten. In the previous head-to-head meeting on 13 September, also in the Bundesliga, Magdeburg won 38–30.

Wetzlar failed to improve on their recent form, which included a draw against ThSV Eisenach and losses to SC Magdeburg, MT Melsungen, and others. Over their last five games, they scored 149 goals and conceded 174, a deficit of 25. At 28 goals, their tally was lower than their average of 29.8 goals per match in that window.

The head-to-head record shows SC Magdeburg has won all nine matches played against Wetzlar in recent years. The most recent result followed the same pattern as the 38–30 Bundesliga win earlier in September. Both teams contested matches in the Champions League, Bundesliga, and domestic cup competitions, but only this cup tie was completed on the scheduled date.

The victory confirmed SC Magdeburg’s superiority in direct confrontations and added to their momentum ahead of further fixtures. Wetzlar’s inability to break their losing streak in these matchups adds to their broader difficulties, as they remain winless in five matches.
