Who will get closer to SEHA GSS League's F4 – PPD Zagreb or Meshkov?
Tko će bliže završnici – PPD Zagreb ili Meškov?
'Matchbox' sports hall will on Tuesday 18:00 CET host SEHA GSS League's match between PPD Zagreb and Meshkov. Zagreb were a few weeks earlier in Zagreb Arena better than Belarus champions reaching 2:1 lead in their this season's encounters (Zagreb were already in SEHA GSS League better than Meshkov in Brest and in CL, also in Brest, Babić' players have managed to take revenge for that loss). This will be their fourth this season's match. PPD Zagreb will not have Pavlović in their roster and Meshkov will miss Manojlović. Both teams are trying to catch League's final tournament which gives this match special importance especially speaking of hosts which are in position to reach a big advantage ahead of one of their biggest opponents in that race.
Veselin Vujović, PPD Zagreb's coach:
We're facing this match in a bit bad moment for us after two tough matches against PSG and Tatran. However, in front of our fans we're always favorites. We're playing good in defence but it is not easy to play too many matches against one opponent in such short time. This is our last match this year and matches of that kind are always the hardest for players whose minds are already looking forward to holidays and national team duties. But despite of all that our goal is to finish this part of the season with a win and we'll do everything to reach it.
Duško Čelica, PPD Zagreb's player:
This will be my first match in front of our fans. I'm starting to fit in. We'll play against a team consisted of many Belarus national team players as well as experienced Balkan players. They are very good but our goal is victory.
Željko Babić, Meshkov's coach:
This will be a third match 'on road' for us in only 6 days. It is not easy, we're a bit tired and we've lost Manojlović for rotation which is important in matches like this. Zagreb are favorites...
Simon Razgor, Meshkov's player:
- Really tough match is ahead of us. We have to play best we can in case we want to reach three new points.
