Norway vs Spain Prediction & Betting Tips - Handball World Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Handball World Championship Predictions
It's been a difficult tournament so far for Norway and they are struggling to reach the semi-finals. This match against Spain is their opening game in Group III of the Main Round of the 2025 Men's World Handball Championships. Can the Norwegians get the win? Here's our match prediction.
Norway are one of the co-hosts but could only finish third in Preliminary Round Group E. Their only win came against the USA with losses inflicted on them by Brazil and Portugal. With the USA not qualifying, that means Norway didn't carry any points into this Main Round.
They are fifth in the group and already four points behind the top two of Portugal and Sweden. The Norwegians have lost three of their last four matches and that run began with a 33-31 loss to Spain in a friendly played earlier this month.
Spain are third in this group with three points carried forward from the Preliminary Round. The Spaniards finished second in Group F, only behind Sweden on points difference. They beat Chile and Japan before coming from five goals down to draw with Sweden.
That draw ended a run of eight successive wins since losing to Germany in the 2024 Olympics. We go for Spain to win this match.
