Foreshadow: Zagreb – Veszprém

Telekom Veszprém plays away on Saturday at 5PM in the SEHA League. They visit the Croatian PPD Zagreb in Varasd. Live broadcast on Digi Sport 1 from 4:55PM.

 

 

Veszprém starts its long series of away matches in Zagreb. This match seems to be hard against last year’s bronze medalist. Both teams have the same points right now but thanks to the better ratio of goals and one more played match Zagreb is on the third while Veszprém is on the fourth place.

 

We met them two times last year and we won both times. The result was 23:19 on the match which was played on December 16 in Zagreb. Christian Ugalde and Renato Sulic scored 5-5 goals. The rematch was on February 29 on home court and Veszprém won with 11 goals. Christian Ugalde scored 7 and Máté Lékai scored 6 goals on the match, which ended for 38:27.

 

Best goal scorer in the other team is Stipe Mandalinic, who was on court for 10 times and scored 62 goals, so he is the third one on the list of top scorers. After him Zlatko Horvat is on the 20th place with 36 goals that he scored during 9 matches.

 

 

However Zagreb does not perform well in the Champions League. They could win only 2 matches out of 9 but those 2 matches were great ones because they won against Vardar Skopje and Löwen. Their best goal scorers in the CL are Stipe Mandalinic with 51, Zlatko Horvat with 40 and Igor Vori with 24 goals.

 

Veszprém played in the SEHA League last time. There was a draw against Vardar Skopje. Vardar won with an overtime penalty and the result was 28:28.

 

Telekom Veszprém continues the fight on the weekend for the victory of the regular season and they hope that the Macedonian champion will lose points sometimes.
