Vardar are dominating. European champions are coming to Velenje to play a match in which Gorenje will try to prove they are not really invincible. Speaking of Vardar and SEHA Gazprom League it is enough to say 10 matches - 10 victories. In their first encounter of the season ‘Red&Black’ were with 32:19 better than Gorenje. They even started reshaping the team for the next season signing Stanic Santalov and Kiselev while Gorenje on the other side still have a lot to go through this season in SEHA League catching PPD Zagreb and Tatran. Finish of the first part of the season will show how far Zeljko Babic and his boys can go because they won’t only play Vardar until the end of 2017 but they will also host Meshkov and travel to Pancevo to meet Dinamo. 

Zeljko Babic, Gorenje Velenje coach:
We’ll host European champs on Wednesday. Vardar are playing real good, I don’t even remember last time they lost a match. We’ve got nothing to lose in this one but can easily profit. I believe we’re up to a good, interesting match and I hope players will start playing better after a few poor outings because we still have three more matches to play until the end of the season.

Matic Verdinek, Gorenje Velenje player:
I believe we’ll play best we can against reigning European champs. It will be far from easy but we’ll try to deliver best performance we can in front of our fans.

Raul Gonzales, Vardar coach:
We are in a really good situation in all competitions at the moment so I feel like we have to enjoy this match but also be focused because each team is additionally motivated playing against us. However, we want to finish the year with a win over Gorenje. We know it is hard, we’re all already thinking about the winter break but year is not done yet. They have good players and good coach. It won’t be easy.

Luka Cindric, Vardar player:
We know we’re always focused on winning and that’s what we’ll try to achieve in this final match of the year because we would that way close the season without a single loss. We must focus on our performance no matter who stands on the other side of the court. I expect victory.

Match will be broadcasted on Arena Sport channels, Sport TV (Slovenia), MRT (Macedonia) and ehf TV.
