Tatran looking to catch the first place over Montenegrin champion

Vardar Partizan

After the "perfect match" in Skopje against Vardar (37:34) and the second important victory over the biggest rivals (Meshkov Brest) for the F4 place on their own court, Slovakian champion Tatran Presov have a home match against RK Lovcen in which they will be the clear favorites for the new points at SEHA Gazprom South Stream League:

- For sure it will not be an easy game. Lovcen Cetinje is a team of a very good quality and belongs to the group of opponents that can be very tough and unexpected in performance. Besides that our main goal is to succeed in this match and continue in good performance that we showed in Skopje against Vardar. We want to show our fans nice exiting handball moments- said Tatran’s headcoach Peter Hatalcik.

Currently the Tatran Presov TOP scorer with 26 goals on four matches, right wing Tomas Urban is optimistic about the next match, but also won’t underestimate rival as was the case in Osijek, when Nexe surprised favorites from Slovakia:

- We have to be careful against Lovcen because we learned from the past that we can’t just approach to this team as an outsider. Lovcen consists of very good players. We have to be careful in defense and continually work on our offensive actions. We would like to win in front of our home fans and stick in the leading position of SEHA GAZPROM SSL league table - concluded fantastic lefthander.

After successful start of the SEHA GAZPROM SSL in Banja Luka, Montenegrin champion RK Lovcen Cetinje suffered four defeats in a row. Experienced coach Kasim Kamenica knows that quality is on the side of his rival - home team from Presov.

- Very long trip to Slovakia waiting us. What is distinctive for Tatran is a very little changes in the past and also a high level of organization. Tatran plays very powerful and quick handball. They are absolute favorites on this match.


The tallest guy in squad from Cetinje, left back Marko Draskovic knows how difficult will be to take points in Slovakia:
- We expect very tough match in which Tatran is a clear favorite. We will give our best and if we get a chance to make something more to surprise the opponents.
Match will be played on Saturday - 18hrs.
