Aleksa Kljajic

In the next round, Serbian Metaloplastika will travel to Bitola and will meet with Eurofarm Rabotnik with intention to show their best handball and win some points. The match is scheduled for Monday, the 23rd of September at 8:45 PM (CET). This is the season in which both teams will try to confirm their quality and achieve great results. 

Eurofarm Rabotnik opened the season with home victory against Spartak, but have two defeats in the EHF Champions League. The newcomers are now waiting for a victory to forget these two defeats. In the meantime, the club has welcomed back their former player Vladislav Ostroushko who will strengthen the team on the back positions.

In the first round, the team from Sabac played against PPD Zagreb. Even though they didn't manage to win, Serbian team showed great resistance.

Stevce Alushovski, Eurofarm Rabotnik coach:
Match against Metaloplastika comes in a bad period for us, after two EHF Champions League defeats. But we have 2-3 days to prepare for the match and we will be ready. Metalopastika are a young team with great coach, Veselin Vukovic. I analyzed how they played against Besiktas and PPD Zagreb and in domestic league and I am sure that they are a team to respect. With our great performance I hope that we will win on Monday.

Nikolce Mitrevski, Eurofarm Rabotnik goalkeeper:
Every match is difficult for us this season. There are no easy matches in the SEHA - Gazprom League. Maybe we are the favourites against Metaloplastika, but we must play the best we can. Our mental condition after two defeats is not perfect but I am sure that with our maximum we can win.

Veselin Vukovic, Metaloplastika coach:
I expect from my players a quality match against Eurofarm Rabotnik, to see where we stand against the current EHF Champions League participant. We have no injured players, and I hope that in a good atmosphere in Bitola with a lot of audience, we'll play a good match and try to resist as best we can. Hopefully, we will win.

Borivoje Djukic, Metaloplastika player:
We will travel to Bitola with great confidence and motivation and we will do our best to come up with a favorable result for us.
