While three teams reached EHF European Cup Men round 2 last week following their wins in double-headers, 11 more spots in the next stage are still at stake.

From Friday to Sunday, 15 round 1 matches are scheduled to take place, including four more double-headers and seven second-leg encounters.

  • SGAU-Saratov (RUS), Granitas-Karys (LTU) and Handball Kaerjeng (LUX) advanced to the next round following their wins in double-headers last week
  • Austrian team Sparkasse Schwaz Handball Tirol proceeded to round 2 after their matches with Kosovo’s KH Pristina were cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions
  • SC Minaur Baia Mare (ROU) and Baekkelaget Handball Elite (NOR) are almost certain of progressing after their big first-leg wins, as Baia Mare defeated HC Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa 44:22, and Baekkelaget beat Motor-Politekhnika 40:21
  • MRK Sloga Doboj (BIH) vs Viljandi HC (EST) is much more open, as the rivals played a 20:20 draw in Estonia. They will now meet in Bosnia and Herzegovina
