As part of one of the matches of the European Handball Championship, the players of the national teams of Russia and Sweden will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this duel.
Russia
The Russian national handball team was able to win all three meetings in the preliminary round of the European Handball Championship. The only problem that caught our team by surprise was the positive test for coronavirus passed by Sergey Makarov. Without this player, it will be difficult for the Russians to cope with "tre krunur". One of the positive things is that he will serve 5 days in quarantine, and if he passes two negative tests, he will be able to play again as part of his team. After defeating Norway at the Euro, the Russians defeated the Slovaks with a score of 36:27.
Sweden
The Swedish national team still looks extremely unconvincing at the European Handball Championship. It is worth noting the fact that the Scandinavians were able to defeat Bosnia and Herzegovina with a score of 30:18, however, it is hardly possible to focus on this victory 100%. After that, the Swedes lost to the Spaniards with a score of 28:32, and also could not cope with the Czechs, having painted the world - 27:27. In case of defeat by the Russians, the Swedish squad will have almost no chance to compete for the semi-finals of the tournament.
Statistics and figures:
- Sweden is the favorite of the meeting;
- Russia has won 4 meetings in a row;
- The Swedes can't win for 2 meetings in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 29:29.
Forecast
Everything indicates that the Russians will be able to cope with the pressure of the opponent. Even if our guys lose, it will be a minimal setback. I advise you to put the "red car" with a 3.5 goal difference on the head start in this match.
