FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria and Krim Mercator Ljubljana aim to keep their record clean with the help of the home advantage. Metz Handball and CSM Bucuresti welcome the bottom two teams – Podravka Vegeta and Nykøbing Falster Håndbold – who are still dreaming of their first wins of the season.

In group B, Györ and Brest will look to extend their winning streaks against Buducnost and Ludwigsburg, respectively, as the French side takes on the runners-up of the previous season in the Match of the Week.
