Eurofarm Pelister face Gummersbach in European League test
Pelister must gain at least one point after a draw in Gdańsk and a home defeat to La Rioja; match starts at 18:45.
Eurofarm Pelister face a tough assignment on October 13, 2026, as they play their third Group Phase match in the EHF European League. The Bitola club arrives after a draw in Gdańsk and a home defeat to La Rioja, and must turn results around if it wants to stay in contention.
Gummersbach challenge and what is at stake
The visitors, Gummersbach, enter the game with one victory and one loss in the group. Pelister need at least one point from the fixture to remain realistically in the race for qualification to the next phase; a loss would make the club's European objectives this season considerably harder to reach.
Coach Lino Červar will be preparing his side for a full 60 minutes of high-level handball against a Gummersbach side coached by Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson. The German club's roster includes former Vardar playmaker Alex Dujshebaev, the highly rated youngster Nikola Roganovic and Montenegrin veteran Milos Vujovic.
Those personnel choices mean Pelister must be alert both in attack and defense throughout the match if they want to claim their first victory of the season in continental competition.
The match is scheduled to start at 18:45. The result will be decisive for Pelister's European campaign and influence how the club approaches the remainder of the season.
