When we compare two matches which Vardar and CSM played in the main phase of the Champions League and in which Vardar won with 22-21 and 30-25, and today's is more likely to be like the one played in Skopje at the start of the year when we're talking about the general efficiency of today's match, especially about Vadard's offense. I expect CSM's best edition, especially in the defense which the whole Romanian team support, from Gulldenova and the rest of the team, all the way to coach Kim Rasmussen. Why is the accent on the defense? First and foremost because Vardar prefer an open game, and because the main defense players of CSM are in top shape, from goalkeeper Pesoa to Torstenson and Fisker, all the way to LIna Jorgensen. At the time the two matches against Vardar were played, they were either injured or back after a long break. Furhtermore, the momentum is on their side, they secured their place in these semi-finals after a double win against Rostov who by the quarter-finals were the only team not defeated in the Champions League. And in the end, the most important thing: their coach is Rasmussen who in the past two seasons has been achieving a lot (the first title last season in the playoffs finals against Baia Mare 23-22, 17-20; the semi-finals of the World Championship in Denmark with Poland against Hungary 24-23 ad Russia 21-20, limiting Rostov to only 25 goals in the first quarter-finals match which paved the road to these semi-finals), he always did it when his girls were playing for "one goal less". When we add to all of that how significant today's match is, everything is pointing to a match under 50 goals, and as the best option I see Vardar under 25.
