The 2016 and 2019 EHF Challenge Cup winners Rocasa Gran Canaria will enter the competition with a double header against Portugal’s Colegio de Gaia/Colgaia-Toyota, with both matches to be played in Spain.

• six more double headers are scheduled for this weekend
• ZRK Bjelovar and ZORK Jagodina will determine the winner of their tie in a single match on Saturday in Bjelovar
• two return-leg matches will be played, both featuring national derbies, in Spain and Turkey

Granollers and Izmir hope to overcome four-goal deficits

Both national derbies in round 3 are still open after the first-leg encounters last week.

In the Turkish clash, Yalikavaksports Club defeated Izmir BSB SK at home 30:26, so the team from Izmir are looking for a home revenge on Saturday.

On Sunday, KH-7 BM. Granollers will also try to overcome a four-goal deficit on their home court following a 26:22 defeat at Club Balonmano Elche. This match will be streamed live on EHFTV.
