When the two teams met in last season’s group phase, Aalborg took all four points. But where are the two teams now?
Both Kolstad Håndball and Aalborg Håndbold secured impressive away wins in round 6 of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2024/25. Kolstad beat Szeged in Hungary 29:27, while Aalborg defeated Kielce in Poland 35:28.
The goalkeeper battle will naturally be an important focus in the upcoming MOTW, and both Norsten and Bergerud have positive words to say about the other.
“It will be a fun goalkeeper duel against Bergerud. He is a great goalkeeper with a lot of experience. I think this fight will be crucial for the outcome and the two points in Norway,” says 24-year-old Norsten.
30-year-old Bergerud also has some kind words about his opponent:
“Norsten has really been playing good recently. He is a good goalkeeper who has been shining while Niklas Landin has been out with his injury. I’m more excited for the whole game than the internal fight in the goal. The real battle will be between him and our shooters, and me against their shooters,” concludes the Norway national team keeper.
