In men\u2019s handball, Dinamo Bucharest are still on the podium in Champions League\u2019s group D. Late last week Dinamo secured a 35-30 home win against Spanish contenders Abanca Ademar Leon. Dinamo have 10 points out of 7 games, being on a par with Poland\u2019s Wisla Plock. With a better goal average, Wisla have retained their top-of-the-table position in group D. On Sunday, Dinamo travel to Norway to play Elverum Handball, Group D\u2019s 4th-placed team. We recall Dinamo secured a 26-24 first leg win at home, in September.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s version of the Champions League, CSM Bucharest have shown signs of recovery. In the wake of an unassuming trail in the League, which peaked with CSM\u2019s home defeat by Norway\u2019s Vipers Kristiansand on November 4, the Romanians braced up and grabbed a spectacular 34-26 away win against Hungarian challengers Ferencvaros. CSM and Ferencvaros share the top position in Group D, with 6 points each. On Sunday, CSM Bucharest, having already booked their ticket to the Champions League\u2019s main stage, will receive the visit of Germany\u2019s Bietigheim. CSM need to make up for their mid-October defeat, away from home.<\/p>\n
