It is the first stage of this year's Champions League, and the competition resumes after the European Championship, which was won by the Danish national team. After 10 stages, Dinamo is in 8th place in the group, with only two points.
In the round match in Berlin, Dinamo had the best performance in an away game in this edition of the Champions League. The Romanian champion lost narrowly, 31-32, with a goal scored by Tobias Grondahl, from 7 meters, in the last phase.
For today's match, Dinamo's coach, Paulo Pereira, is confident that his players can produce a surprise.
“We will play against the best team in our group. We know how difficult this match will be, but at the same time I remember that we lost in Berlin by a single goal in the last seconds. It will be a match where we will fight to achieve an important performance. I think if we do things right and follow the game plan, we will have a chance to win,” Paulo Pereira told the EHF website.

Fuchse Berlin is in 2nd place in the group with 18 points accumulated from 9 wins. If he wins the match against Dinamo, he ensures his direct qualification to the quarter-finals.
The Dane Mathias Gidsel (27 years old) is not missing from the team sent by Fuchse to Bucharest, who this weekend received from the IHF, for the third time in a row, the title of the best handball player in the world.
With this award he equaled Nikola Karabatic and Mikkel Hansen, who also have 3 IHF titles. Mathisa Gidsel is an Olympic, European and triple world champion with Denmark and has a contract with Fuchse Berlin until 2030.
In the first 10 Champions League matches, Gidsel scored 83 goals.

“We face a big challenge in Bucharest. We have to play better than in the tour match and create chances more easily. At the same time, we know that there is always commotion and noise in Dinamo's hall and that they are lower in the ranking than they deserve,” said Fuchse's coach, Nicolaj Krickau.
A likely first “7” for Fuchse Berlin: Milosavljev, Freihofer, Andersson, Lichtlein, Gidsel, av Teigum, Marsenic.
For today's match with Dinamo, Fuchse Berlin is the favorite at the bookmakers with a rate of 1.28-1.30, while the Romanian champion is rated with 4.60-5.00.
