Veszprém pick up maximum points

In the return leg of the clash between two title contenders, Veszprém once again defeated Mathias Gidsel’s Füchse Berlin (39-35), despite Gidsel's scoring nine goals. Thanks to these two victories over the Germans, the Hungarian side will start the main round with four points, while the Foxes are set to start with zero – and will therefore be under pressure from the very first matchday.

For their part, Paris can still go into the next phase of this continental campaign with three points. To do so, they will need to beat Aalborg at Coubertin next Wednesday. Should they lose, Stefan Madsen’s men will start with one point, whilst another draw would see both sides enter the main round with two points.
