CL 2007/2008 - round 1

[damjanac]

Lets talk about first round. Those are my predictions
Group A
Gyor-Slageles 70:30 ( but you never know with AA)
Podravka Ribaroha 70:30 (I think Podravka can go in main round)

Group B
Savehof-Krim 40:60 (< Krim is much experienced team with a lot of problems right now)
Nurnberg- Dzvezda 35:65 ( thay are to tall)

Group C
Lada-Hypo 55:45 (what to say except everything is posible)
Larvik-Kometal 60:40 (What about Amorim????)

Group D
Buducnost-FTC 50:50 (we are tooooooo young with a lot of injured players 5)
Olchim-Viborg 45:55 (One name BOJANA)

[red and white]

Gyor-Slageles 70:30 ( but you never know with AA)

Larvik-Kometal 60:40 (What about Amorim????)

Olchim-Viborg 45:55 (One name BOJANA)

Well, you´re right. Anja can achieve big things, but she cannot produce miracles. Slagelse will be without Bulatovic, Cubela and Rotis, which means the backcourt will probably consist of Batinic, Krogshede and one of the wingplayers. You think they will be able to beat Görbicz on homecourt? Not gonna happen..

I´d say 80-20 in favour of Larvik. They will run Kometal down in fastbreaks without much problem.

As to Oltchim - Viborg. I don´t know what to expect. If both teams play up to their best level it will be a phenomenal clash with fifty-fifty chances to both teams. Oltchim has better wings(at the moment), have played together for a long time and the backs has a great cooperation with pivot Galca. Viborg on the other hand has Popovic and Jurack and they might just decide the match. We´ll see. I hope Danish TV will broadcast the match.

[Baltazar]

Larvik-Kometal 60:40 (What about Amorim????)

She hasn't arrived in Skopje yet, so i think she won't play ...

[BlueSwan]

I'd like to already make the prediction that Viborg will win the Champions League. I only see injuries or Tomas Ryde ruining this, they have BY FAR the strongest squad.

[koco]

Larvik-Kometal 60:40 (What about Amorim????)

I think Larvik-Kometal 99:01
And,I`m also very sad that I have to say this,but this is the reality...

[Bo$ko]

My predictions:
Group A
Győr - Slagelse 65:35 (ETO will win for sure )
Podravka - Ribarroja 60:40 (Podravka is better team but everything is open)

Group B
Savehof - Krim 40:60 (Krim has name and experience)
Nürnberg - Dzvezda 30:70 (Trefilov's squad will win )

Group C
Lada - Hypo 49:51 (Hypo good as always)
Larvik - Kometal 100:0 (Sorry guys but Larvik's fastbreaks will kick Kometal)

Group D
Buducnost - FTC 51:49 (Maybe this young squad can make suprise )
Oltchim - Viborg 40:60 (Bojana... Everything is told )

[SilentOne]

Larvik-Kometal 60:40 (What about Amorim????)

I think Larvik-Kometal 99:01
And,I`m also very sad that I have to say this,but this is the reality...

Oh I am not that pesimist

However here are my predictions:

Group A
Gyor-Slageles 70:30
Podravka-Ribarroja 70:30

Group B
Savehof-Krim 40:60
Nurnberg- Dzvezda 30:70

Group C
Lada-Hypo 50:50
Larvik-Kometal 60:40

Group D
Buducnost-FTC 60:40
Oltchim-Viborg 50:50

It will be a long long season, so it's hard to predict now who will win the trophy, but on paper I see 4-5 possible winners: Gyor, Dzvezda, Hypo, Oltchim and Viborg. Dark horses this year I see in Podravka and Larvik, but we'll see...

[Bo$ko]

I'd like to already make the prediction that Viborg will win the Champions League.

So do I

[track82]

Group A

Győr - Slagelse 65-35
Podravka - Ribarroja 60-40

Group B

Savehof-Krim 20-80
Nurnberg - Dzvezda 25-75

Group C
Lada - Hypo 40-60
Larvik - Kometal 70-30

Group D

Buducnost - FTC 55-45
Oltchim - Viborg 60-40

Regarding the Hungarian teams:

Győr must win this if they want to achieve anything this CL season. My biggest fear is offcourse Anja Andersen, she is like +2 player...

with the FTC i'm more pessimistic, as i see the replacements are not the same quality, we can make huge surprises just like huge losses.
The "youngsters of Buducnost" are capable to pull out a win, especially at homecourt, but i hope it will not happen;)

[doomark]

[She hasn't arrived in Skopje yet, so i think she won't play ...

Why do you expect her to come back? She stated that she`ll not play for Kometal. (even if she has a valid contract)

[Milica]

Group A
Győr - Slagelse 55-45
Podravka - Ribarroja 60-40

Group B
Savehof-Krim 35-65
Nurnberg - Z_vezda 30-70

Group C
Lada - Hypo 50-50
Larvik - Kometal 60-40

Group D
Buducnost - FTC 55-45
Oltchim - Viborg 45-55

I can say I see favorites of this year's CL... Viborg, Oltchim, Hypo (you simply must have them in the list, always ), Gyor.

I hope Buducnost has the spirit to win over FTC, although we don't have luck with injuries! But, I hope

[Rasmus]

Hypo (you simply must have them in the list, always )

Yeah Hypo has the referees and EHF behind them... backing the team as much as possible without being "suspicious"

[doomark]

Yeah Hypo has the referees and EHF behind them... backing the team as much as possible without being "suspicious"

What are you talking about, Rasmus?!? It always freaks me out to hear such insane things...

[Baltazar]

yee "right"

[Baltazar]

[She hasn't arrived in Skopje yet, so i think she won't play ...

Why do you expect her to come back? She stated that she`ll not play for Kometal. (even if she has a valid contract)

Then she should find some new proffession for herself, ... maybe in front of MKC

[stilo]

Croatian or Podravka fans do you know Anita Bulath and Cecilia Őri will play Sunday against Ribarroja?

[LokomotivaFan]

Yes, they will. At least Bulath will for sure.

[Ricci]

[She hasn't arrived in Skopje yet, so i think she won't play ...

Why do you expect her to come back? She stated that she`ll not play for Kometal. (even if she has a valid contract)

Because Kometal will ask for suspension from EHF and IHF and she won't be able to play for NT of Brazil on the forthcoming World Championship.

Hypo deserves suspension too
