Foreshadow: Veszprém- Szeged

MVM Veszprém and Mol-Pick Szeged will play against each other for the 2nd time during spring, however this time they will play as part of the Hungarian Championship play-off in the Veszprém Arena at 6.15PM today. Live broadcast on channel M4.

 

 

It is almost unnecessary to advertise the two ancient rival’s match because this pairing is a highlighted event in every Hungarian handball-lover’s calendar. The interest in the derby might be bigger in this season and there could be two main reasons for that.

 

One is that there was a very tight match in the Hungarian Cup final and the defending champion Veszprém could beat its rival only with penalties. That is to say, the Tisza-bank team was closer to dethronement than ever.

 

The other reason is that in this year there will not be a championship final. Therefore, if both teams win every match of theirs against the four rivals in the play-offs, then the Veszprém – Szeged, Szeged – Veszprém matches will decide who will be the champion. Szeged has already played all the 8 matches and scored the maximum point, while Veszprém still has a match against Vác. This match will be held on next Monday at 6PM. The current play-off table looks like this (source: keziszovetseg.hu):

 

 

Szeged has also great expectations as for today’s game. What is a good sign that 250 fans will arrive from the guests’ side. In order to have a problem-free match from every aspect, we would like to ask the Dear Guests to take into consideration what we have requested in our previous article before, during and after the match.

 

Before the game, the Hungarian rapper, Curtis will entertain the audience with one of his well-known songs. After that, from 6.15PM the gold and the silver medalist teams of the previous season will play in order to get closer to the championship trophy.
