Peppy Dolce Vita and Liriada are looking good and lead the way in their respective groups, but it’s last year’s champions, Tazmannschaft, from the capital, Bucharest, that are on fire, with two wins from two and an impressive 15 goals scored in their opening two matches.

Yarysh from Kazakhstan are also still unbeaten, and have a few shrewd punters tipping them to cause an upset. Semic Legends are another one who are also yet to lose, and look almost certain to qualify from Group C.
