Both teams could use a win today. After the two bankruptcies, Kielce feels the pursuers breathing down their necks – Paris, Veszprem and Barcelona are all just two points behind. For Flensburg it is about reaching the round of 16 at all. The North Germans are only two points ahead in this regard.

In the first leg in mid-October, the Poles clearly won 37:29. But a lot has happened since then: Kielce lost the last two games on European territory, losing 27:32 in Paris and 27:29 in Porto.
