Leipzig are the favorites and they should be able to show it on the court. It might not be a trashing by more than 7 goals though, as the conditions are not right. Their first problem is their squad depth as 4 players are injured, the last one being their right wing Diehl two days ago against Trier. The lack of players was partly annulled by the arrival of Alina Ioneac from Craiova last month but the Romanian international has just played in defense so far. They have experienced forwards Kudlacz and Visser who can score up to 10 goals per game but since they spent a lot of energy in defense and might play in the final against FTC, one can expect them to be rotated, especially in the last part of this match. Minsk's roster is better than last season, in which they also played against Leipzig during CL qualifiers and lost by only 5 goals. They have reinforced themselves with 4 Russian internationals. They also have experienced Belarus international, keeper Safonova, along with Kulik, Mazgo, Silitskaya and Arishina, who make a formidable team capable of getting at least the result from last season.
