Oroshazi 23 536:654 6 The 32:25 against Skjern was Veszprém s first defeat in a CL knockout match prior to the VELUX EHF FINAL4 (Last 16 and quarter-finals) since the 34:33 against Plock in the Last 16 in 2013/14. Since then, they had 13 wins and two draws. The last time Veszprém were eliminated prior to the FINAL4 was in 2012/13 following two defeats against Kiel in the quarter-finals, also the last time they lost a CL knockout match. The last time Veszprém lost a knockout match by seven goals was in the Last 16 of 2011/12 against Barcelona (28:21), also the last time Veszprém missed the quarter-finals. Veszprém can become the first team with five straight FINAL4 participations. The away match against Veszprém is Skjern s eighth CL knockout match - including four Group C/D play-off matches in 2016/17 and 2017/18. Vezsprém play their 88th CL knockout match since 1993. They play their 23rd CL season; Skjern their fourth. Both Group C/D play-off winners (Skjern and Montpellier) have won their Last 16 home match in leg 1 and can hope for the first ever appearance of both clubs in the quarter-finals. Skjern team captain Bjarte Myrhol played one season (2005/06) for Veszprém. Later he was teammate of current Veszprém coach Ljubomir Vranjes at HSG Nordhorn. Until last season, Vranjes and Skjern s only CL winner, Anders Eggert, were at SG Flensburg-Handewitt. Eggert and Myrhol (with Rhein-Neckar Löwen) are the only current Skjern players with FINAL4 experience. Vezsprém have not yet won the CL but four of their players have - with another club: László Nagy, Cristian Ugalde (both Barcelona), Momir Ilic (Kiel) and Andreas Nilsson (Hamburg). The last team from Denmark to reach the CL Quarter-finals are AG Köbenhavn in 2011/12. That season they became the only Danish team so far at the FINAL4. In their only previous Last 16 appearance (2003/04), Skjern won the first leg at home against SC Magdeburg by five goals, but lost the second leg in Germany by 10 goals. The best striker of each side is in the top 5 of the CL top scorers list: Markus Olsson (Skjern/77 goals, second ranked) and Mate Lekai (Veszprém/74, fourth). With an average of 32.4 goals per match, Skjern have the best attack of all CL participants while Veszprém have so far scored only 28.8 goals per match. Skjern lost three away matches in the current season but never by more than two goals. The aggregate winners of this Last 16 pairing face Nantes or Meshkov Brest in the quarter-finals.
