At least three women handball sides from Romania have made headway in the
European Cups. In the Champions League, CSM Bucharest stands good chances to
directly qualify for the quarterfinals if it outperforms Danish side Odense in
the away game they are going to play on Sunday. Odense ranks second in Group A,
two points ahead the Romanian champions, but this advantage can be cancelled in
case of a Romanian win. The first game opposing the two sides in Bucharest, in
September went to the Romanians 28-24.




Another Romanian side, the vice-champion Rapid Bucharest also stands good
chances to qualify for the competition’s next stage. Rapid ranks seventh in
Group B, a point less than the Hungarian side Ferencvaros. In the event of a
home win on Sunday against Danish side Esbjerg and if Ferencvaros loses to
Metz, in France, Rapid goes into the play-offs for the League’s quarterfinals. Both
sides that represented Romania in last year’s competition were stopped in their
tracks in the quarters.




In the EHF European League, a leg before the end of the groups competition,
Romania already boasts two sides in the quarterfinals. The first Romanian side
to have assured its place in this stage of the competition was Gloria Bistrita
with an away win against French team Nantes, their main Group C opponent. On
Saturday, the Romanians will be up against German side Bensheim / Auerbach. In
the quarters, Gloria may be playing either the Norwegian side Sola or the Spanish
side Malaga.




Dunărea Brăila qualified last Saturday, after a win against the group’s
leader Thuringer of Germany. At the end of this week, Dunărea will be up
against Chambray Touraine in France. After the final ranking configuration, in
the quarterfinals, Dunarea will be playing the Norwegians from Storhamar or Podravka
Koprivnica of Croatia. The third Romanian side in the European League, CSM
Târgu Jiu, is hankering for a win after five consecutive defeats. CSM will be
playing at home on Sunday the Hungarian side Mosonmagyaróvár.
