Four qualifiers live on ehfTV

When Rounds 3 and 4 of the Women's EHF EURO 2014 Qualification throw off next week (26 to 30 March), four matches will be streamed live on ehfTV, the European Handball Federation's online TV platform.

On Wednesday, 26 March the Group 3 encounter between Czech Republic and the EHF EURO defending champions, Montenegro is the first of the four games to be shown. The match throws off at 16:20 hrs local time.

Both teams have won their first two matches and top the group with four points each, making this duel a thrilling match about which team is likely to take the top spot in the end.

Being drawn to a group with just three teams, FYR Macedonia did not take to the court in the first two round and therefore make their first appearance in this qualification on home court when they face Russia on 29 March at 17:45 hrs local time.

This is the reverse fixture of the double-header with the first match taking place on 26 March at Russia. If Russia take at least three points from both matches, they will secure qualification to the final tournament in Hungary and Croatia in December 2014.

Two matches will be broadcast on Sunday, 30 March with 2012 Olympic bronze medallists, Spain, against Netherlands at 13:00 hrs local being the first match on this day.

The situation ahead of this Group 4 encounter is similar to the match Czech Republic vs. Montenegro clash, as both Spain and Netherlands have won their first two matches.

Sweden against World Championship 2013 silver medallists, Serbia, is the second match that will be streamed on Sunday (at 18:15 hrs local time).

Sweden currently top Group 5 with four points while second ranked Serbia will travel to Kristianstad their morale boosted by the fact that they won silver at the World Championship on home court back in December 2013.
