The Men’s Water Polo Champions League returns on October 27-28, with eight matches across Europe as the group stage enters its second round.
Among the standout fixtures, Panathinaikos welcome defending champions Ferencvaros to Athens, while two intriguing encounters in Serbia see Radnicki host Brescia and Novi Beograd face Mladost.
Panathinaikos Face Major Test Against Ferencvaros
Champions League debutants Panathinaikos face one of their biggest challenges yet when they host three-time European champions Ferencvaros on Wednesday.
The Greek side narrowly lost their opening match against Marseille, while Ferencvaros began their title defence with victory over Steaua Bucharest.
Panathinaikos will hope home advantage can help them challenge the Hungarian champions, who recently added the Black Sea Cup to their trophy collection.
Two Major Encounters in Serbia
Radnicki welcome Brescia to Kragujevac on Tuesday in a meeting between two clubs enjoying impressive domestic form.
Radnicki remain unbeaten in the Premier Regional League, while Brescia have won their opening four Italian league matches.
Both clubs will be looking to build on their opening Champions League performances.
Meanwhile, Novi Beograd host Mladost on Wednesday in another important Group C encounter.
Mladost arrive following a convincing 16-8 Croatian League victory over Jadran Split, while Novi Beograd will be hoping to respond after their defeat against Radnicki in the Regional League.
