Can all three German sides manage to proceed to the quarter-finals? After the first leg of the play-offs, the trio seems to be on a common way to the next stage. Defending champions Füchse Berlin and Rhein-Neckar Löwen took crucial away victories at Schaffhausen and Nasice, while the “warriors” from Hannover-Burgdorf ended their series of defeats against Sävehof. Fourth victorious side were Romanian champions Dinamo Bucuresti, who take a three-goal cushion to Denmark next week.
