Estonian sides aim for home revenge

Qualification round 2 features two clashes between Estonian and Lithuanian teams.

Last week both Lithuanian teams were victorious, as VHC Sviesa Vilnius beat HC Tallinn 24:22 and Granitas-Karys defeated Pölva Serviti 27:26. But with such score lines nothing is decided in these ties, and Tallinn and Pölva hope to take revenge on the home court.
