Many ties are left with all to play for in the second leg
Hungary are the first nation with more than one participant confirmed for the group phase – and they will likely end up with at least three teams. Vác have already joined directly seeded DVSC, while Siófok KC are on the cusp of qualification following a 33:24 first-leg win against Romanian side Magura Cisnadie. Motherson Mosonmagyaróvári KC are also in with a decent chance, having beating Romanian side SCM Gloria Buzau 29:26.
Norway are also likely to have three teams in the group phase: apart from Molde, both Fana and Sola HK won their first-leg matches last weekend against Buxtehuder SV (28:21) and Rocasa Gran Canaria (32:29), respectively.
Romanian side SCM Ramnicu Valcea are also on the brink of progressing to the group phase for the second season in a row, after their 31:24 win against H 65 Höörs HK.
Arguably the most interesting second-leg games will be played in Croatia, after experienced side HC Podravka Vegeta only managing a draw in Poland against MKS Zaglebie Lubin, 24:24. vari KC, and between ES Besancon Feminin and Super Amara Bera Bera, with the Spanish champions losing the first leg 29:32.
