The draw for the second round of the
qualifications in the Champions League has been conducted – this crucial phase will halve the field as
only the top two of each group can go through.
The top two finishers of the first
round will see some tough challenge – perhaps Savona’s road seems to be rockier
as they face last season’s Euro Cup winner Szolnok and Greece’s second ranked
side Vouliagmeni and also Montenegro’s recent Champions League participant
Jadran Herceg Novi.
On contrary, OSC Budapest, achieving
a perfect 6/6 last week, will have a clash with last season’s semi finalist
Brescia but they may find beating France’s Noisy a bit easier though face a
tricky encounter with Spain’s Terrassa.
Group D in Zagreb is to offer a traditionally
thrilling Croatian-Serbian battle between Mladost and Zvezda, and Montpellier – undefeated in the
first round – and Apolon had some fine matches, so it’s going to be three demanding days for everyone.
The other group to be played in
Croatia also features four quality sides and it’s a tough call to predict
the outcome. Both teams coming from the
first round, Jadran and Primorac did well last week so Barcelona and Oradea cannot take anything granted.
The top two ranked teams will advance
to the third round where the group winners shall be drawn against the second placed clubs and the four winners
will get the Champions League berths while the losing sides can continue in the Euro Cup.
