In one of the matches of the European Handball Championship, the players of Germany and Russia will clash face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Germany
The German national team is currently going through a very difficult period. The Bundestim team has more than 10 players of the main squad infected with coronavirus. For this reason, Gislason had to use players not even from the expanded list. The German team has lost in the last three meetings. In the last round, a defeat from the Swedes was recorded - 21:25. The nominal hosts placed fifth in the second group of the European championship.
Russia
The Russian national team is on the fourth line in the table. No matter how this meeting ends, our team will not be able to climb higher. Velimir Petkovich said he was proud of his players at the tournament, because, in his opinion, Russia performed great. However, not all fans share the optimism of the specialist, because they believe that our team should have won in the last meeting with Poland, but in the end it had to fight back and save itself at the end of the match (29:29). We could have scored a point in the match with Spain, where for unknown reasons we gave the initiative to the opponent, and at the last second of the meeting the Magpie did not realize a 7-meter throw.
Statistics and figures:
- Germany is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Germans have a 3-match losing streak;
- Russia has not won in 3 matches in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 22:22.
Forecast
Germany is now stronger than the Russian national team. And even in a weakened composition, the Bundestim are obliged to replay the "red machine". I assume that the favorite will win this match.
