In the history of the two teams, it was the first time a draw has been played when we last met. Veszprém started the game well, and achieved a lead for the half time, 18:20. In the second period, Telekom played really good again, but in the middle of the half, they failed to score for six minutes, giving Kiel the opportunity to come back to the game, and even had the lead of four goals near the end of the half. From the last Veszprém offense they did not score, keeping the result at 31:31 draw.

 

Kiel suffered two losses in the Champions League since then, both from Barca. On home court they lost 26:32, while in away they got beaten 29:25. With this performance they are currently on fourth position in the group with three wins, three losses and a draw. Their top scorer is Sander Sagosen with 41.

 

 

Our opponent is currently leading the Bundesliga, with Löwen side-by-side. Both teams played nine games so far and only lost once. The champions got defeated by Wetzlar in October. Niclas Ekberg is currently fifth on the scoring list in the domestic championship with 61 goals.

 

Telekom Veszprém played in the Champions League the last time, where they lost their first game since February. The Danish champion Aalborg managed to take the points from Veszprém Aréna last Wednesday with 30:32 victory. The top scorer of our team in the European series is Petar Nenadic with 37 goals.

 

Let’s go Veszprém!
