Zoltan Szilagyi: “We have to win in Bistrita!”
After 12 rounds, Debrecen is in 5th place with 10 points and needs a win in Bistrita to move up to 4th place.
The Hungarian team has 5 wins in the competition and produced one of the surprises of the season by beating Gyor on the road, score 31-30.
In the last stage, Debrecen won the match with Borussia Dortmund, score 29-23, a game in which the right winger Alicia Toublanc scored 8 goals from 10 shots.
“It's a great achievement that we've already qualified for the play offs, but we don't want to stop there because we still have a chance to finish even higher in the group. To do that, we have to win in Bistrita, which is a difficult task because they have a very strong squad. I expect a full house, which is also a big advantage for the home team, but we'd like to take advantage from that point of view as well,” said Debrecen coach Zoltan Szilagyi.
A first “7” probably for Debrecen: Ryde, Vamoș, Jovovic, Szabo, Hamori, Toublanc, Tovizi.
