The first leg of the EHF European Cup Men semi-final will be played in the south of the continent, in the capitals of Greece and Cyprus, on Saturday. In Athens, local side AEK Athens HC will host RK Gorenje Velenje at 18:00 CEST. In Nicosia, Sabbianco Anorthosis Famagusta will take on Ystads IF at 19:15 CEST. Both return legs will be played next week Saturday.
Time to go South for Ystad The semi-final will guide Ystads IF into a new direction – literally. In the three previous rounds, the Swedish side faced teams from the Baltic countries each time. They beat Lithuania’s VHC Sviesa Vilnius in round 2 before eliminating two Estonian sides, HC Tallinn and Polva Serviti. Already enjoying their best ever European season, Ystad are eager to continue their good run in the competition when they travel South this time, striving for a good result against Anorthosis in Cyprus.
