Water Polo Euro Cup – Quarter Finals, draw
Four thrilling duels
The four best teams from the Euro Cup qualifications and the four losing sides of the Champions League Qualification Round III have been paired in the quarter-finals. In a week, the action continues.
Three Italians, two Hungarians, two Spanish and a Croatian side remain on board in the second-tier competition.
The draw set up some interesting duels. Sabadell will take on Savona which barely missed the cut in the Champions League. Ortigia is to meet title-holder Szolnok – they were in the same qualifying tournament in the Champions League last year but Szolnok failed to reach the final of that event and Ortigia eventually made its way to main round while the Hungarians went all the way to claim the cup.
The other Sicilian side Palermo will visit Mladost next Wednesday, while the clash of CN Barcelona and BVSC promises some extra flavour as the two had some controversial moments a year ago in the Euro Cup qualifications.
