Emil Nielsen set for Veszprém debut in Hungarian Super Cup

Danish goalkeeper Emil Nielsen is set to make his official debut for One Veszprém HC this Sunday in the Hungarian Super Cup. The match, held at the MET Aréna in Székesfehérvár, features the defending champions and cup winners, Veszprém, against their rivals, OTP Bank-Pick Szeged.

Veszprém enters the contest as the favorite. In contrast, Pick Szeged is considered the underdog as they undergo a rebuilding phase following the addition of six new players. Szeged has faced challenges in recent training matches, including losses to THW Kiel and Nantes. The team is also dealing with roster instability, specifically in the defensive line and the playmaker position due to the departure of Janus Smárason to FC Barcelona and an injury to Lazar Kukic.

For Nielsen, the Super Cup represents the first official opportunity to make an impact following his summer transfer, with high ambitions set for the upcoming league season and the Champions League.
