Another serious task awaits the DVSC SCHAEFFLER team on Saturday, this time the opponent will be one of the strongest teams in the BL series, CSM Bucharest.

Thanks to DVSC SCHAEFFLER’s feat against Brest and the stumbling of the star team from Bucharest, both teams await the end of the first “half” of the group stage with three wins and three losses, six points. The one-time CL winner Romanian team, which is not secretly preparing for the Final Four, started the series with a confident win against Odense, and although the away defeat against Bietigheim and the home defeat against Győr could be acceptable, the victory of Brest in Bucharest was already unpleasant for CSM. Romanians improved their CL balance in Podgorica, and then won the league matches against Gloria Bistrita and Valcea. Their goal is probably to win on Saturday as well.

The girls from Debrecen have been able to prepare with their full squad since Tuesday after last week’s national team meeting, and what is certainly gratifying in light of the events of the last few weeks, everyone is healthy except for Dóra Hornyák and Kata Juhász, who are rehabilitating after knee surgeries.

“We were underdog against Brest, but we still managed to get two points, and that was good for our self-confidence – said Gréta Kácsor. – We are prepared for our opponent, this time again a good defense can be the basis of a successful game. We will not play in Bucharest with our hands up, we will do everything to cause another surprise.”

In the seventh round of Group A of the Champions League, the match between CSM Bucharest and DVSC SCHAEFFLER will start on Saturday at 18:00 Hungarian time in the hall named after Ioan Kunst Ghermanescu in Bucharest, the match will be shown live on Sport1 television. Match will be led by two French referees, Yann Carmaux and Julien Mursch, and the delegate of the European federation will be Slovak Zuzana Füleová.
