Halved PPD Zagreb hosting Vojvodina

Prepolovljeni PPD Zagreb dočekuje Vojvodinu

ZAG-VOJ

In a match of SEHA Gazprom League's Round 7 PPD Zagreb will on Sunday (18.30 CET) in 'Matchbox' sports hall host Vojvodina. Both clubs have Champions League's duties behind them with PPD Zagreb beating Besiktas at home and Vojvodina losing against Tatran. On SEHA's table Zagreb is currently third with seven wins and a loss in Prešov. Vojvodina is on the other side eighth with a win, two draws and seven losses. Situation suggests Zagreb is a big favorite but amount of injury problems on Zagreb' side is an important reason for 'Lions' to enter the game fully focused and motivated in order to get what they desire. In all of their previous matchups in the League Zagreb were able to come on top.

Veselin Vujović, PPD Zagreb' coach:

We're waiting for Vojvodina in a bit tough moment for us. We have many injured players - Stepančić, Mandalinić, Šušnja, Šandrk, Obranović, Pavlović... Vojvodina surely are a good team and they are proving it this year through Champions League which measn they do have quality. However, we're favorites and we have to continue with good performances in SEHA Gazprom League.

Luka Šebetić, PPD Zagreb' player:

After Besiktas and with all those problems on our back this will surely be a really tough game. Our goal is to reach a place on final tournament and in order to do that we have to beat Vojvodina. Of course, due to really reduced rotation it won't be easy but we must not look for an alibi but play best we can replacing injured players and prove why we are favorites ahead of this one.

Nikola Marković, Vojvodina' coach:

We're aware of Zagreb's injury problems as well as that they are a bit tired. Despite of all that I find them favorites and believe that this match is a great chance for our team to gain a usefull experience.

Miloš Orbović, Vojvodina' player:

Our schedule is also pretty tough and exhausting. Match in Zagreb will show our current form. It is always nice to play there and if we manage to give our maximum we might play a competitive match against favored Zagreb.
