For the second time this season, Barça scored 40 or more goals in a group match, and, for the second time it was against Elverum Handball.  This time, however, it was not quite as lopsided as the first duel (46:30). Thanks to their tenth victory in their 11^th group match, Barça are already confirmed to finish either first or second in their group, which means they skip the play-offs and directly qualify for the quarter-finals. On the other hand, Elverum (still on two points) are out of the race for the play-offs, since they are six points below sixth ranked side Szeged - and have lost both matches against the Hungarian champions.
