Larvik HK - HC Leipzig
Sorry for not predicting this game, if I would be a gambler, I wouldn't bet it. This is based on a personal opinion. The stats say an easy victory for the hosts, even Tonje Larsen might not play. I would not bet it because Leipzig lost home and they will go in Norway very motivated to get something. Ommundsen scored only 3 in the last match and she might be better here against the Scandinavians, because she is also one of them. Muller didn't score a goal in the last match, I don't know if she played or not, she was on the list still. I also think she will score some goals at Larvik. Kudlacz scored 10 for the German team against Krim so it looks that Leipzig's other players are progressing well. I mean I know, they lost, but they look they gained some experience. 2 matches left and I think it might get something from them, it is the time. You never know, Leipzig might make a surprise here, considering that both teams are very similiar as play...
Viborg HK - HC DINAMO
Viborg with a lot of absences, the most important being Jurack who gave birth and Althaus. The reserve pivot replaced very well Althaus, but I am not very sure she can do it again, maybe it was pure luck, no reserve is better than the regular. Bojana Popovic looked so exhausted, all the players of Viborg looked like this. If they play the same, they will have big problems even being home. Dinamo on the other hand has players like Kochetova or Levina. Levina played wonderful at Valcea, but Kochetova very bad until the last 15 minutes, because she had a slightly injury in the beginning. The Russians also have Makeeva, that nice right and small winger, the keeper or young Khymirova. It isn't an accident that they are the champions of Russia. I also think that they gained some experience, this team being very young... If Viborg lost 2 times against Vejen in the league this season, I also think "they can do it" here one more time. Quite the same scenario, they are facing again a good team and also in a period when they have a lot of absences... My money would go on Dinamo with handicap if it is kinda big (4.5 or 5 for example) and some small sum on Dinamo's win!
RK Krim - GYOR AUDI ETO
No Lekic, bye bye Krim. She is the motor, the play-maker of this team. Vergeliuk is too old, Zacsik is nice players but without experience, from where to come the danger? Gyor just by accident can lose this game, considering that they want the 1st place of the group even they will face Viborg for example... 1st place of the group means 2nd leg of the semifinal home!!! So big advatange...
CS OLTCHIM RM.VALCEA - Hypo
In this moment, there is no team to win home at Valcea, sorry. Viborg with a full team lost just by 1 goal difference but it wasn't the real difference. 49 goals scored Oltchim with Rulmentul Brasov! And they are also resting players whenever they want. They rested Maier in the last 2 games for example. I don't care Hypo won Viborg, on the road they are not the same team... Do Nascimento would not move in front and the keeper of the Austrians is very bad! No more comments...
