Today the draw for the Euro Cup
eight-finals have been conducted and there are several thrilling duels in
sight. Three of the eight match-ups feature teams from the same nation.
Winter is coming with a series of
outstanding matches in the men’s Euro Cup eight-finals: the last day of
November and mid-December will see heated battles around the continent.
Goddess Fortuna set up three national
derbies. Italy’s Savona and Ortigia, Hungary’s Honved and Szolnok and Romania’s
Steaua and Oradea will have their respective showdowns in this round – each
promises thrilling clashes.
As for the other five pairings,
France’s upcoming club Noisy, just dropped from the Champions League playoffs,
faces Italy’s Trieste. The other CL ‘dropout’ Vasas (HUN) meet Serbia’s Crvena
Zvezda – the Hungarians are coached by a Serb, Slobodan Nikic who won Olympic
gold in Rio with head coach Dejan Savic who is currently in charge at the
Zvezda’s bench, just to add some extra flavour to these games.
The other Belgrade-based side
Partizan faces off Panionios of Greece, while the third Serbian team Sabac will
play with CN Barcelona, which is another highlighted duel.
Montenegro’s only remaining team
Primorac meet France’s Tourcoing – again, as they already played in the second
round of the Champions League qualifications. We can say, they left the job
unfinished as their game ended in a 10-10 tie, now they will decide which is
the better side.
