After the long break for the winter holidays, the WSE Champions League returns to the rink on the third day, the halfway point of the Group Stage. Everyone is chasing the most important positions in the group rankings to gain a piece of qualification. The challenge between Barça and Barcelos for first place in Group A is very interesting, where ideally the Spaniards are difficult to defeat at home, while on the contrary, they are looking for the first victory between Centro Porsche Firenze VH Forte and Deportivo Liceo. Both Sporting and Benfica are back on the rink will compete in the match on Wednesday 17 January for the recovery of the 2nd matchday: they will host the two Spanish teams Parlem Calfell and Reus Deportiu Virginias respectively, two matches to consolidate their first victory. FC Porto Fidelidade will have a difficult match in Spain at Lleida against Finques Prats but will have to find some points after the stop in Tomar. They already competed in the 2nd qualifying round where the result, always in Lleida, was 1-1. In Italy, Trissino will try to stop the run of Tomar IPT, in first place with 4 points. Oliveirense Simoldes in group D will try to continue their extraordinary form on the Italian field at Lodi, while Valongo Colquimica will look for their first victory against French Saint-Omer in the home match, trying to shuffle the cards of the group.
