Uipest and Eger on the road of Ethnikos and Vouliagmeni

The draw was not very friendly with the Greek teams, as it highlighted duels with Hungarian teams in its quarter-finals Women’s Euro Cup.

Drowning and Nationalwho finished top of their groups in the qualifying round, could certainly have more favorable draws than Eger and Whippet respectively, which they will face on January 28 and February 11. NOB will play the first game on Greek soil, while the Piraeus team will initially travel to Budapest and will be the home team in the second leg.

Eger will visit our country for the third time this year, after the matches with Glyfada in Vari (in the 1st qualifying phase of the Champions League) and with Ethniki in Piraeus, just yesterday (15/1), in the Euro qualifiers Cup. The Magyars were defeated in details in both of these games (13-11 by Glyfada, 12-11 by Ethnikos) and will try to have better luck against NOB. A big star of the team is the fundamentalist Rebecca Parks, who last year competed in the National and contributed to winning the LEN Trophy, while the internationals Dorotia Silagyi and Dora Tsigani also stand out.

In recent years, Wipest has been a star player in European competitions, participating in five Euroleague final-4s (finalist in 2016, fourth last year in Piraeus) and winning the LEN Trophy in 2017. But this year it is weakened, as its leader Rita Kesteli left, and eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers. There she had already met Ethnikos (defeated 10-8), whom she will face again in the quarter-finals of the Euro Cup, but also Glyfada, from whom she was defeated 11-7. In the qualifying round of the Euro Cup, Wipest finished second, behind the also Hungarian Ferencvaros.
