- Coach Jürgen Bätjer sets a target of four points before the break and keeps Northeim favored at home after a solid week of training.
- Achim/Baden travels buoyed by a 30:29 win over Alfeld, with coach Florian Schacht calling Northeim the clear favorite for a demanding matchup.
- SG personnel remain thin with Jannik Rosilius unavailable and Kevin Podien doubtful, while Malte Meyer returns as a key defender and newly named Regionalliga Allstar.
