Also in groups A (CS Minaur Baia Mare meet Motherson Mosonmagyarovari KC) and D (JDA Bourgogne Dijon Handball play Viborg HK) in group D, the teams that started the group phase with a win are now playing against each other.
Also, defending champion Thüringer HC — one of the three German teams in the competition alongside VfL Oldenburg and HSG Blomberg-Lippe who, remarkably, all lost their opening match last week — aim to kickstart their campaign against Larvik in front of their own fans.
