ROUND PREVIEW: The EHF Champions League Women has just four rounds to go and competition for knock-out places is intensifying
Unbeaten on their home court, Vipers Kristiansand could eliminate SG BBM Bietigheim from the race for an automatic EHF Champions League Women quarter-finals berth with a win on Saturday in the Match of the Week. Group A leaders CSM Bucuresti may edge closer to a quarter-finals spot in a crunch tie against the in-form team of the group, Odense, who are riding a six-game winning streak.
In group B, all eyes will be on the clash between Team Esbjerg and CS Rapid Bucuresti as the Danish side seeks revenge for their round 4 loss. Powerhouses Metz Handball and Györi Audi ETO KC will try to extend their winning cycle – and if they do so, Györ would become the first team in EHF Champions League history to reach the 200-win mark. Also, either Kastamonu Belediyesi GSK or Storhamar Handball Elite could end their long winless period.
