Team Esbjerg and the home team Győri Audi ETO KC will be involved in the “opening party” of the 10th EHF FINAL4 Women (Final Four of the women’s handball EHF Champions League) on Saturday, June 1, at MVM Dome in Budapest, Hungary.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Esbjerg

In his final assignment on the Danish indoor floor as head coach of Esbjerg, Danish national coach Jesper Jensen received the ideal farewell present last Saturday. His side, Esbjerg, won both matches of the Danish Championship final against Nykøbing. Like the previous year, Esbjerg took home the gold.

It’s the fifth home league title the team has ever had. Nevertheless, even though a number of the greatest stars missed most of the season’s pivotal stretch due to injury, this season has been better than ever. During the regular season, all 26 games were won. In the playoffs, all six games were won. Esbjerg only had to settle for a draw with Ikast in the second semi-final match, but it was enough to get them into the final. As a result, the domestic championship saw 35 victories and one tie. Not to mention that Esbjerg also won the Cup title just before the New Year. Finishing second in Group B of the CL earned them a direct advancement to the quarterfinals, where they shut down Ferencvárosi, the team that made the season in Hungary of their first rivals in the Final Four taste bitter.

The current form of Győri

The years 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019 are inscribed in gold letters in Győri’s history since during these years the city and, naturally, all of Hungary rejoiced over Champions League titles. With this, Győri, naturally, became the most successful handball club team in Hungary and also the most successful women’s club handball team in all of Europe for the 2010s. The team hasn’t been inactive in the years that have gone since then either, as evidenced by their attendance at all three Final Fours (the event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID), their silver medal in 2022, and their bronze medals in 2021 and 2023.

Győri’s objective, which has advanced to every FINAL4 since 2016, can only be the sixth CL title. The players from Győri didn’t falter in the Champions League, despite not exactly going as planned in the home championship and Hungarian Cup this year (finishing runners-up in both behind FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria, i.e. Ferencvárosi) and a coaching change (Ulrik Kirkely was replaced by Per Johansson) during the season. This indicates that both groups’ highest point total from the group stage was 23, which was a great result. The green and whites “only” had to compete in the quarterfinals of the straight elimination round of the Champions League because, of course, they won their own group of eight. Who was waiting for them there? It might be sufficient to mention that Győri eliminated Vipers, who have won the previous three Champions Leagues, on their way to the MVM Dome.

Match analytics

Despite the fact that Esbjerg were better than a team that dominated Győri in Hungary in the CL quarterfinals, their opposition in the semis got the role of favorite in their face-off by the Sofort betting sites. This is probably largely due to the fact that the Hungarian side has prevailed in all head-to-head encounters thus far.

We suggest that you go for a riskier but more profitable bet here: Esbjerg to win, with odds of 2.55 at JoyCasino Sport.
