Norway vs Slovenia Prediction & Betting Tips - Men's Olympics Handball
by Devesh Jaganath in Men's Olympics Handball Predictions
The final last-eight tie in the Men’s handball competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics sees Norway facing off against Slovenia on Wednesday night. The winner of this match will progress to the semi-final where they will meet either Denmark or Sweden. Let’s get into the prediction.
After an absorbing battle in Group B, Norway secured a qualification spot finishing third behind Denmark and Egypt with a record of three wins and two losses.
NHF got off to a brisk start, beating Argentina 36-31, France 27-22, and Hungary 26-25, but hit a wall thereafter, losing 26-25 to Egypt before going down 30-25 in their final match of the group.
Notably, those defeats were the only ones Norway have conceded in their last 10 matches while they won seven and drew one of the remaining eight. However, the Norwegians lost to their upcoming opponents 28-17 in their last encounter at the European Championship at the start of the year.
Meanwhile, in what was a fiercely competitive Group A, Slovenia finished second as part of a three-way tie owing to their head-to-head record. They scored a total of 140 goals, which was the lowest in the group and conceded 142 which was the second-fewest.
The Slovenian's best-ever finish at the Olympics was sixth place in 2016. They now have a record of four wins, one draw and five losses in their last 10 matches in all competitions.
In the last 10 matches between these nations, Norway won seven and Slovenia won three.

Our Norway vs Slovenia Prediction
While Slovenia came through the preliminary round with a better record, it is arguable that they had a slightly easier group to navigate. Norway looked really good until they came up against top-five opponents Egypt and Denmark.
Both these sides have not been in the best goal-scoring form here in Paris and this one could come down to a very fine margin. However, we’re giving the Norwegians the nod to edge the result. Our Norway vs Slovenia prediction: Norway wins!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
