GROUP C/D PREVIEW: A four-goal home loss in the first leg has left Plock with a mountain to climb

Bjerringbro in control ahead of home second leg

A fine second half in Poland last week has left Bjerringbro-Silkeborg in the driving seat ahead of the second leg of their VELUX EHF Champions League Knockout tie against Orlen Wisla Plock.

Plock will need to rediscover the fierce defensive form which brought them this far if they are to stand any chance of reeling in Bjerringbro and their free-flowing attack.
