The Danish League Championship final is set to begin between Odense Håndbold and Team Esbjerg, just days after their emotional participation in the Champions League Final Four. Odense is determined to secure a gold medal after falling short in previous tournaments, while Esbjerg aims to capitalize on their past success against Odense.

Odense Håndbold is focusing on mental preparation ahead of the DM final after their Champions League journey, acknowledging the need to overcome fatigue. Despite an undefeated regular season and finals appearances in two other tournaments, Odense has yet to secure a trophy.

Team Esbjerg’s coach, Tomas Axnér, emphasized the importance of mental and physical resilience for both teams. Esbjerg hopes to leverage their historical advantage, having won seven of the last ten matches against Odense.

Louise Burgaard of Odense highlights the team’s motivation to win a gold medal and reflects on their previous losses. She specifically mentioned the need to neutralize Esbjerg’s key player, Henny Reistad.

The first final match is scheduled for Thursday in Odense, followed by a second match in Esbjerg three days later. A potential third match, if needed, will be played in Odense due to their regular season victory.
