Tatran for the first time at home against Vojovdina

Tatran Vojvodina

 Serbian champion RK Vojvodina  travel to Slovakia in order to make the most of the match with home team - Tatran Presov. Slovakian champion is the clear favorite in this clash, but the coach Momir Rnić and his guys aren't coming with the "white flag" to their first match abroad in SEHA South Stream League in this season:

- We lost match against Mehkov (24:31) at home with a little bit more goal difference than we expected, but we knew even before competition began that Vardar, Metalurg, Zagreb, Meshkov and Tatran are the level up in comparation with our squad. I can add Nexe in this group of teams, but of course, we can play against them and teams like Partizan, Lovćen or Borac - said legendary Momir Rnić before the trip to Slovakia.

Olympic champion from 1984 as a captain of Yugoslav National Team belives in his players:

- We are going to play bravely. Tatran beat us in preparation tournament in Doboj with two goals, but that was open match in which we were more tired because of exsausting match with French Dunkerque a day before. It will be extremely hard to take points in Presov in front of their fans and especially after they were defeated in Croatia against Nexe - said Rnić and added:

- Final score from Osijek surprised me. I expected Tatran to win that match, even Nexe aren't team to be underestimated. We will try to give our best,  to win or to lose with small goal difference, but it's clear that Tatran is big favorite - concluded Serbian coach.

CAPTAIN POPOV STILL NOT READY

One of the best Vojvodina's player, line-player and team's captain Stevan Popov is still far away from the court after muscle injury last month. He won't be ready for debut at SEHA GAZPROM SSL at least for Slovakian challenge, but also home match against Nexe next weekend.


After two tough matches abroad and earned two points, Slovakian champion Tatran Presov will have a premiere in front of home fans against the best Serbian team - RK Vojvodina Novi Sad. Success in Belarus over Meshkov 30:28 and unexpected defeat in Croatia against Nexe 34:32 are behind the Peter Hatalchik's team. The TOP scorer of the team, right wing Tomaš Urban believes that team will a better impression against Vojvodina than in Croatia.

- We forgot match against Nexe and began preparation for the next one against Vojvodina. We beat them at Doboj Tournament. We won't underestimate them. Vojvodina have a high quality and ambitious team. We want to make amends for defeat in Osijek.  I assume, therefore, that we will play good match and have huge support - concluded Tatran's lefthander.
