A balanced group, the constant avoiding big forces in Germany (Fuchse Berlin, TSV Hannover and THW Kiel).
"To qualify further, it's imperative to win every game on your own pitch and bring points," said veteran George Buricea. In the third preliminary round, the Litoral group won two victories, Sweden's HK Malmo.
