Eslovs also has 4-0 but still not safe from Pontoise and Werder After first four rounds of the 2015/16 TTCLM Chartres is unique club who can already organize its schedule for the 2016 in this competition bearing in mind that they booked their place for the quarter-final. The 2012/13 TTCLM runner-up won all four games in Group D which shares with Borussia Dusseldorf Bogoria Grodzisk Mazowiecki and Sten Ostrov Havluckov Bord. GROUP A Current standings are: Orenburg 3-1 Saarbrucken 2-2 Walter Wels 2-2 Angers 1-3.

Round 5: Werder Bremen – Eslovs (Dec 4th) Pontoise – KTS Energa Manekin (Dec 5th) Round 6: Eslovs – Pontoise (Dec 18th) KTS Energa Manekin – Werder Bremen (Dec 18th) GROUP D Current standings are: Chartres 4-0 Borussia 3-1 Sten Ostrov 1-3 Bogoria 0-4.

If Dusseldorf side win against Chartres at home in the Round 5 both quarter-finalists from this group will be determined. In case that Borussia loses both its games and Sten Ostrov wins twice Czech club must beat Germans better than 3:1 (9:6). Round 5: Borussia – Chartres (Dec 4th) Bogoria – Sten Ostrov (Dec 6th) Round 6: Chartres – Bogoria (Dec 18th) Sten Ostrov – Borussia (Dec 18th)
