In the next meeting of the European Handball Championship, the players of the national teams of France and Iceland will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
France
The French national handball team performs great at the European Handball Championship. The team was able to win three preliminary round meetings, beating Croatia, Ukraine and Serbia in face-to-face meetings. After that, the team was stronger than the Netherlands, which they beat with a score of 34:24. At the moment, the current Olympic champions are on the first line in group 1, which they share with the Danes. Ahead is an unequal game of rivals whose class is incomparable.
Iceland
The Icelandic national team played great before the meeting with Denmark (24:28) and had a 100% victory rate. It is worth noting that the Vikings managed to win 3 matches at the tournament, beating Portugal, Holland and Hungary. At the moment, the Islanders occupy the 3rd place in their group and are unlikely to be able to climb higher, since it will be extremely difficult to beat France and Denmark, given the composition of the teams at the tournament.
Statistics and figures:
- France is the favorite of the meeting;
- The French have a 4-match winning streak;
- Iceland won 4 out of 5 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 28:26 in favor of the "tricolor".
Forecast
Iceland will be able to give battle to its opponent. It will be difficult for France to defeat its rival, but victory will not go away from the Olympic champions of sunny Tokyo. Our bet will be in favor of preserving the handicap of the Icelanders.
