At least three women handball sides from Romania have made headway in the
\nEuropean Cups. In the Champions League, CSM Bucharest stands good chances to
\ndirectly qualify for the quarterfinals if it outperforms Danish side Odense in
\nthe away game they are going to play on Sunday. Odense ranks second in Group A,
\ntwo points ahead the Romanian champions, but this advantage can be cancelled in
\ncase of a Romanian win. The first game opposing the two sides in Bucharest, in
\nSeptember went to the Romanians 28-24. <\/p>\n

Another Romanian side, the vice-champion Rapid Bucharest also stands good
\nchances to qualify for the competition’s next stage. Rapid ranks seventh in
\nGroup B, a point less than the Hungarian side Ferencvaros. In the event of a
\nhome win on Sunday against Danish side Esbjerg and if Ferencvaros loses to
\nMetz, in France, Rapid goes into the play-offs for the League’s quarterfinals. Both
\nsides that represented Romania in last year’s competition were stopped in their
\ntracks in the quarters. <\/p>\n

In the EHF European League, a leg before the end of the groups competition,
\nRomania already boasts two sides in the quarterfinals. The first Romanian side
\nto have assured its place in this stage of the competition was Gloria Bistrita
\nwith an away win against French team Nantes, their main Group C opponent. On
\nSaturday, the Romanians will be up against German side Bensheim \/ Auerbach. In
\nthe quarters, Gloria may be playing either the Norwegian side Sola or the Spanish
\nside Malaga.<\/p>\n

Dun\u0103rea Br\u0103ila qualified last Saturday, after a win against the group’s
\nleader Thuringer of Germany. At the end of this week, Dun\u0103rea will be up
\nagainst Chambray Touraine in France. After the final ranking configuration, in
\nthe quarterfinals, Dunarea will be playing the Norwegians from Storhamar or Podravka
\nKoprivnica of Croatia. The third Romanian side in the European League, CSM
\nT\u00e2rgu Jiu, is hankering for a win after five consecutive defeats. CSM will be
\nplaying at home on Sunday the Hungarian side Mosonmagyar\u00f3v\u00e1r. <\/p>\n
