Tonight’s EHF Champions League action features several thrilling matchups as teams fight for crucial points in the group stage.
Fredericia takes on PSG in a battle between two sides eager to bounce back. The Danish club put up a strong fight against Füchse Berlin last week but ultimately suffered their ninth defeat in eleven matches. With just three points, they are running out of time to climb into a playoff position. PSG, on the other hand, suffered a shocking home loss to Plock, dropping to third in their group. However, they dominated Fredericia in their previous encounter, winning 38–30.
Zagreb and Kolstad go head-to-head in a direct battle for a playoff spot. Kolstad sits seventh with eight points, while Zagreb, just behind in eighth with six points, is looking to close the gap. Both teams secured important wins last week—Zagreb stunned Szeged 27–26, with Zvonimir Srna leading the way, while Kolstad edged out Nantes in a tight contest. However, Kolstad will have to adjust after losing star player Sander Sagosen to Aalborg.
Nantes and Szeged meet in a clash between two closely matched teams. Nantes currently holds third place with 13 points, just one ahead of Szeged. Their previous meeting ended in dramatic fashion, with Szeged’s Richárd Bodó scoring a last-second winner in a 33–32 thriller. Both teams suffered losses last week but responded with victories in their domestic leagues.
The final game of the night sees Magdeburg take on Aalborg in a battle between two in-form teams. Magdeburg, currently fifth in the group with nine points, secured a crucial 29–25 win against Kielce last week, while Aalborg, sitting second with 15 points, claimed an impressive 36–35 victory over Barça thanks to a last-second save by Niklas Landin. Their previous encounter ended in a 33–33 draw, setting the stage for another tight contest. Both teams come into this game on a high—Magdeburg won a top Bundesliga clash against Melsungen, while Aalborg lifted the Danish Cup after defeating Bjerringbro/Silkeborg.
