In Group A, on their own turf, Gloria Bistrita will be up against Slovenian team Krim Ljubljana, which is presently a force to be reckoned with as they won the first two games they played this season: 24-23 against Podravka Koprivnica of Croatia, then 35-25, at home against the Danish side Nyk\u00f8bing Falster. Gloria secured a 30-26 win against CSM Bucharest and lost in France to local side, Metz, 26-28. CSM will play an away game against a side that lost all the two games they played so far, Podravka Koprivnica. After their home defeat by the Slovenian champions, the Croatians also lost to the Hungarian champions Ferencv\u00e1ros, 24-33. CSM, however, comes after a win against the Norwegians from Storhamar, 32-28 in Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>In Group B, Rapid Bucharest will be up in a home match against German side Ludwigsburg, formerly known as Bietigheim, the finalist of the League\u2019s edition last year. Ludwigsburg, the champions of the last two years in Germany, lost the first two games this year: 22-28 to Odense, in Denmark, then 26-31, at home against Gy\u0151r. Rapid comes after a home win against Buducnost Podgorica, 32-27, and a 30-all draw in Norway against local side Vipers Kristiansand.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend will be seeing games counting towards the tenth leg of Romania\u2019s Football Superleague. Two matches on Friday, FC Boto\u015fani versus Gloria Buz\u0103u and O\u0163elul Gala\u0163i versus Dinamo Bucharest.
