ROUND PREVIEW: Rematch of the 2024 semi-final at Aalborg, while high-flyers Veszprém and Sporting duel in Lisbon.
While Orlen Wisla Plock hope for their first points of the season in the MOTW against Paris Saint-Germain, Sporting CP and Veszprém HC — who are on four points each — duel in Lisbon. There are two premieres in group A: Frederica Håndbold Klub and Füchse Berlin meet for the first time, as do Dinamo Bucuresti and Eurofarm Pelister.
In group B, the only team with four points, Barça, will try to get their third win in Kielce. At the other end of the spectrum, Kolstad are already in need of points before hosting Zagreb on Wednesday night. Aalborg and Magdeburg will also battle in a rematch of last season’s semi-final.
