- EHF Champions League ehfTV
- The quarterfinals finish up on Wednesday and Thursday with 2nd leg matches. Below are the times for those matches along with the 1st leg scores. Remember, the aggregate score for both matches determine who advances. If the aggregate is zero, the next tiebreaker is away goals.

Odds to Advance to the Final Four (Courtesy of Bet 365: Link)
- Barcelona is an overwhelming favorite as they have a 4 goal aggregate lead and are an 8.5 goal favorite at home.
- Aalborg is a solid favorite since they have a 5 goal aggregate lead and Flensburg is only a 3.5 goal favorite in Flensburg. Additionally, since the first leg in Aalborg was low scoring (26-21) it’s likely that Flensburg will need to win by 6.
- Kiel is also favored to hang on to their 2 goal aggregate lead. They won 31-29 in Kiel and Paris is only a 0.5 goal favorite in Paris. It’s debatable as to whether the required Paris margin of victory will be 3 or 2 goals. That will depend on the pace of the game and whether Kiel is on track to score more than 29 goals
- Veszprem – Nantes has Veszprem as a slight favorite to advance to the Final Four. Nantes has a 4 goal lead, but Veszprem is favored to win by 4.5 goals. Either 4 or 5 goals will suffice and that will depend on whether Nantes is on track to score 28 goals. (UPDATE: as of Wednesday the odd have shifted to make Nantes a slight favorite to advance: Link)
