With great opportunities for promotion, the Fivers Margareten will go into the last group game of the European League at Fenix Toulouse on Tuesday (8.45 p.m., live on ORF Sport +). The Viennese can even afford a defeat in France by a four-goal difference or even five if you score at least 32 yourself.

Coach Peter Eckl warned his team against premature cheers and demanded full concentration. “Four or five goals are not a lot in handball. A really tough task awaits us against a really strong opponent. With the 37:32 win (at home, note) we had a perfect day, we need it again, ”said Eckl.
For his club, which had called for the European Cup for the first time in eleven years, it would be the culmination of a strong season, and it would be the first-time entry of a red-white-red team into the knockout phase of the “second” European Cup competitions after the Champions League.
In any case, Toulouse is not at its best. The last victory in the French championship so far is dated December 5, 2020, the last and only full success so far in the European League on October 20, 2020, when there was a 33:29 over Metalurg Skopje. “Some of them were very narrow defeats. A supposedly battered team in particular is extremely dangerous and the European League is a huge opportunity for them to rehabilitate, “said Eckl.
