Puljezevic vs Skof

Szeged will host Zagreb on Saturday and the game will be a competition between two superb goalkeepers.

Puljezevic vs Skof

In the third round of Group H, Pick Szeged will welcome Zagreb Croatia osiguranje. The Hungarians have a win and a defeat; the Croatians have a draw and a win. They both need a victory on Saturday to keep up with Löwen.

The Croatians are all aware how hot the Hungarian soil can be. Nevertheless, Lino Cervar has a clear goal for the following match: “We must win in Szeged.”

Injuries

Unfortunately both teams have problems with injured players.

Stamate, Laluska and Andelkovic will probably have to skip the game against Zagreb, just as the new signing Nenadic whose healing will take longer time.

On the Zagreb side Backovic is still injured and Balic has back problems too. They missed last game and they did not travel with the team to Szeged either.

Goalkeepers' battle

In first two rounds Nenad Puljezevic was key player for the Hungarians with great performances showed in the goal. Gorazd Skof also appeared to be in top form in the Croatian team.

The duel between the two goalkeepers will give a special spice to the otherwise decisive game on Saturday at 17:15 in Szeged.

ehfTV.com will broadcast the match live.
