The goal-difference minus 38 (65:103) and three defeats in the same number of visits show how far the Buducnost Bemax handball players were from reaching a break that would increase their chances of advancing to the round of XNUMX of the EHF Champions League.

The "Blues" lost easily to Odense and Đero, they were also defeated by Debrecen, and now Bojana Popović's team faces a double match with Brest, who will be a rival tomorrow in France (18:XNUMX) and the following Saturday in the "Bemax Arena".

In the last round, played two weeks ago, Budućnost was defeated at home by ĆSM Bucharest, but that match gives Bojana Popović hope that the team is on the right track.

"It's obvious that against ĆSM, progress was seen in the game. It's also evident that Brest is playing erratically. It's our chance to make a miracle there. If the whole team plays at the top level, we'll have a chance to threaten. Let's go bravely, we have nothing to we are afraid," said Bojana Popović.

Until further notice, Milena Raičević will not be part of Budućnost, who was suspended and reassigned to Rudar (a branch of the Podgorica club).

Brest, which after six rounds has a score of 2-4 and one more triumph than Budućnost, cannot count on the Montenegrin national team member Đurđina Jauković, who is waiting for a several-month break due to a knee injury.

"Brest plays with oscillations. It had bad luck during the season, it has not yet fully included the new players in the system. However, it plays well in the French championship and grows through those games. It will not be easy for us, it is an experienced team with individual quality, and we need good energy from the entire team and to be at our best in all segments of the game," Popović pointed out.
