The WSE Champions League Men offers another very interesting matchday which will define the first round of matches, waiting for the last three scheduled. There are three matches where some leaders in the standings will compete. Sporting-Reus Deportiu Virginias, Oliveirense-Benfica and Noia-Trissino. For Sporting Clube de Portugal, first in group D with 6 points, one of the most important matches of the season at the Joao Rocha against the spanish Reus, stuck on three points. In Group A Oliveirense-Benfica is the first direct challenge for first place, both with 4 points in the standings. Also in Group B, Noia and Trissino are in first place with 4 points, and also in this case, as in the previous one, Noia has the advantage of its own rink to stretch over all the rest of the contenders. Instead, in Group C, Barça with six points will have the home match against Lodi, already defeated twice in the first two matches. Both Sporting and Barça have two great chances to place themselves as favorites to win the group stage. In the other three matches scheduled, Porto Fidelidade is looking for the first victory after the first two ties, and the match against the Italian Sarzana could be favorable. Even Barcelos, in Group D, with the match in the “Catedral” against the french Saint Omer, still with zero points, will be able to climb in the standings. The Spanish derby between Parlem Calafell and Deportivo Liceo is also important for the fate of qualification, as is Valongo Colquimica versus Forte dei Marmi, who are also on equal points in the standings. From these two games the second could come out for the possible qualification.
