SEHA derbies in Zagreb and Veszprem, Eurofarm welcoming Tatabanya, Nexe versus Logrono
Eighth EHF Champions league, fourth EHF European league group stage round is ahead of us. In EHF CL teams will either have a chance to prove last round's results were not only a coincidence or take revenge. Another interesting club week lies ahead so let's get into it!
EHF Champions League
In Group A, Vardar 1961 will after a three-goal loss in Hungary now welcome Pick Szeged looking to take revenge. Everyone knows how hard it can be to play in 'Jane Sandaski' sports hall and it will be interesting to see whether Szeged have what it takes to come out as winners this time. In the SEHA – Gazprom league derby of the group PPD Zagreb will welcome Meshkov Brest. Two teams shared points last week in Belarus but Zagreb will surely try to make what would be a big and important step for them towards joining the knock-out stage race and in order to do that they have to defeat coach Gordo and his guys who are playing better and better each round.
In group B, Telekom Veszprem will in a SEHA – Gazprom league derby against Motor Zaporozhye look to take revenge for last round's defeat in Ukraine. Coach Ilic and his guys are desperate for points which would keep them close to the leading duo but it will obviously be hard to achieve that against this Motor team.
