CSM Bucharest did not reach the chasing of the competition in the 2017/2018 season. He then ran on the 3rd place. He lost the semi-final with Gyor, score 20-26, and wins the small final in front of Rostov-Don with 31 to 30.

The Denmark champion did not play any final, but he obtained 3 bronze medals in the last 3 editions. On the paper and in the vision of the bookmakers, Esbjerg starts a favorite. However, there are at least 5 reasons that keep CSM Bucharest in books.

1. Henny-Dependence

Including in the tour of CSM Bucharest, he scored 11 times. If Helle Thomsen will find a way to slow down, because it is totally impossible, the champion of the Romanian champion will increase.

2. CSM Bucharest is fresher

CSM Bucharest did not play any match this week. Team Esbjerg did not have the same luxury. On Thursday, from 9:30 pm, he faced Viborg in the winners in the first league of Denmark.

Tomas Axner's students could not be used. I take a fierce fight for the title against Ikast.

3. The atmosphere is not pressing

The match will be played in the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg, a room with a capacity of 2,500 seats. Nothing out of the ordinary about the atmosphere. A handball connoisseur audience, but does not put a special pressure.

In addition, CSM Bucharest will be supported by about 100 fans in Denmark.

4. Cristina Neagu returns!

Outside the trophy, CSM Bucharest's handball players are fighting for one thing. They want to offer a perfect career ending Cristina Neagu. The left Inter showed that he was willing to be with them regardless of circumstances.

97 goalsCristina Neagu marked in the current edition of the Champions League. Only Reistad and Homogie have more in the current edition

In the tour match, Neagu scored 7 goals and offered 7 decisive passes. The interesting detail is that it came after a week in which it had done a single training because of an injury. In the same situation, Djurdjina Jaukovic, the defensive pillar, was also found.

The two had an extra week of recovery.

5. Pintea, unstoppable

Crina Pintea was the best player in the tour. Scored 10 times out of 11 throws. He completely dominated his opponents on the semicircle. Recovered a lot of balls in dangerous positions.

One of the handball players who could have faced them physically, Kathrine Heindahl, Next is missing because of pregnancy. Nora Mork and Marit Røsberg Jacobsen will be outside the lot for the same reason.

Bonus:

• Elizabeth Homogiethe second scorer of the Champions League, with 104 successes, was not on the most inspired day offensive in the tour. Scored only once. Slovenian cannot repeat the benefit
• CSM Bucharest He knows how to win at Esbjerg! It has prevailed in 3 of the 6 games played in Blue Water Dokken. In 2022 he also removed a draw as a qualification in the current configuration, 27-27
• ESBJERG has committed 3 wrong steps at home this season. He lost 23-29 against Gyor, 24-33 against Odense and drew 30-30 with Ludwigsburg.
