Schwerin (dpa/mv) - With two clear victories behind them, the volleyball players from SSC Palmberg Schwerin travel to the Bundesliga game at Roten Raben Vilsbiburg and want to defend their lead there. With regard to the duel on Wednesday (6.30 p.m.) against the hosts, who have also won twice, head coach Felix Koslowski said: "It's difficult for me to assess them. But that will be a real indicator for us. They are opponents who have a lot of physical quality, has a lot of jumping power. They have power."

The coach said of his team's performances so far: "What I like is the good intensity, that we are present and the players are awake. And that we still put pressure on even in situations where we weren't good at accepting able to build up in attack." The fact that the SSC, unlike after the false start last year, has two wins after two Bundesliga games, Koslowski did not want to attach too much importance. "We aim to always win."
