They will meet each other for the first time on the final tournament and for one of them this year will bring first SEHA GSS final. In the regular part Tatran showed better performances but Meshkov's new Belarus reinforcements mean that there are no favorites on the paper. Tatran won dominantly in Presov (31:22) and narrowly in Brest (28:30). In the first season score was 1-1 but Belarus team had better goal difference against their Slovak opponents back then winning +9 and losing -4.

This will be clash of two handball visions, fast and fluent Slovak and stronger Belarus. Season schedule was much harder for Tatran which was fighting on both,  SEHA GSS and EHF's Cup battlefields which had surely given Meshkov more time to prepare for F4.
