Final week of European club competitions before the winter break, which is reserved for the national teams, is ahead of us. Without further ado, let’s start with the preview!

We’ll start with the European Cup in which Partizan didn’t manage to reach the next phase. After the 30:26 home win in the first leg against Romanian Minaur Baia Mare, Serbian vice-champions suffered a five-goal loss (23:28) away from home. In eighth-finals Minaur will play Greek PAOK.

In Group A Meshkov Brest will after the win in Norway welcome group leaders – French Elverum looking for another CL win. SEHA – Gazprom league derby of the group will on the other hand be played in Zagreb with PPD welcoming Vardar 1961 led by their former coach Veselin Vujovic. Matches between these two teams might end up being crucial in deciding who reaches the knock-out rounds. 

In Group B, Hungarian Telekom Veszprem will travel north to meet German Flensburg in a match in which they will once again be aiming for the victory in order to stay close to Kielce in the standings. Motor Zaporozhye will, on the other hand travel to Romania to play Dinamo Bucuresti.
