Vardar, the champions from 2017 and 2019, are back in the Champions League after more years. They have a decent team, the best team in the Macedonian league, but a team that is not good enough to challenge the best teams in Europe. However, they showed that they're on a similar level with Melungen, Nantes and Wisla Plock, no matter that they will finish last in the group with these 3 teams. Vardar lost the first 4 matches and were outplayed only once. However, they managed to smash Nantes in France and ruin their season. Now Nantes are in a very complicated situation thanks to Vardar. Melsungen are in Skopje and if they win, they will 100% continue their season in the Champions League. However, it won't be an easy task. I believe that the bookmakers offered very good lines to back Vardar here. They will welcome Pelister next weekend and they aim to play a good match against Melsungen to keep the atmosphere on a highest level. Vardar are good and they already played a good match in Germany where they lost 33:31. Now the lines are around 4.
Melsungen surely won't underestimate Vardar, but they almost always play close matches and I expect another one close match.
