Alkaloid host Struga in Autokomanda as warm-up for EHF European Cup
The Super League game at 18:00 will be used by coach Kiril Lazarov as final preparation for the EHF European Cup fixture against KELAG Ferlach.
Alkaloid will play earlier than the rest of the Super League clubs on Wednesday as they fulfil European commitments: the team hosts Struga at Autokomanda with kickoff at 18:00.
The match is scheduled as a practical tune-up ahead of the weekend, when Alkaloid faces KELAG Ferlach in the EHF European Cup — the first of the two clubs' continental encounters, also at home on Saturday.
Coach Kiril Lazarov seeking response after first domestic defeat
In the previous round Alkaloid suffered their first loss of the season against GRK Ohrid away from home. Lazarov and his players will want to use today's game to restore momentum before the international fixture.
Struga arrive occupying the lower end of the table, with a record of one win, one draw and four defeats, making Alkaloid the clear favourite on paper for this Super League meeting.
The match at Autokomanda offers both clubs valuable competitive minutes midweek: for Alkaloid it is preparation for European duty; for Struga it is an opportunity to climb the standings.
