South Korea vs Sweden Prediction & Betting Tips - Women's Olympics Handball
by Steve Ashfield | in Handball Predictions
With two games remaining, Sweden are second in Group A of the Women's Olympic Handball tournament. Their fourth match of this group is against South Korea who are down in fifth. Who'll win? Our prediction will shortly be revealed.
Sweden were bronze medalists in the last Olympic tournament held three years ago. They have four points from their first three games and with the top four going into the last eight, qualification can be confirmed with a win in this match.
The Swedes started the group well with a win over Norway and followed that up with a victory over Germany. A third straight win didn't happen though as they were defeated 25-23 by Denmark. This is their first match against South Korea since 2021 and they won that by eight goals.
South Korea are the reigning Asian champions but had a nightmare time in the 2023 World Championships, only finishing 22nd. The last Olympic tournament saw them finish eighth but they're struggling to match that in 2024.
Their campaign started well though with them getting a surprising win over Germany by a one-goal margin. They haven't been able to build on that though with subsequent losses to Slovenia and Norway by a combined 13 goal margin.
After this match they face third placed Denmark and it's looking hard to see them adding to their current two point total. We tip Sweden to win this on a -5 goals handicap.

Our South Korea vs Sweden Prediction
The Swedish side can confirm their place in the quarter-finals. They have won two of their three matches and the only loss was to Denmark. South Korea began well with that win over Germany but have lost both their matches played since.
Sweden beat their opponents by an eight-goal margin when they last met in 2021. A similar result looks likely here and our South Korea v Sweden prediction is Sweden to win on a -5 goals handicap.
