Celje, champions in 2004, are back in Europe’s top flight in 2022/23 after a one-year absence and are set to host fellow one-time titleholders Kielce, who lifted the trophy in 2016.
The Slovenian champions have already impressed in group B with a win over THW Kiel and with pushing Barça to the limit last week, while Kielce look set for another strong campaign, with a defeat in a repeat of the 2022 final against Barça their only slipup so far.
After playing the EHF Finals Men two seasons in a row, Plock have returned to the top level and the Polish side will be eager to keep their fine season start in group A going when Veszprém visit.
The Hungarian powerhouse are one of only two unbeaten sides in the competition after three rounds as they hope that 2022/23 will finally become their golden year in Europe’s premium club competition.
