Vardar also had reasons to take points tonight, as the side from North Macedonia were bottom of the group before travelling to Szeged. If they were to win, the 2017 and 2019 Champions League winners had the opportunity to leapfrog Elverum into seventh place. GROUP A. MOL-Pick Szeged (HUN) vs HC Vardar 1961 (MKD) 34:33 (17:19)
