Spain vs Portugal Prediction & Betting Tips - Handball World Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Handball World Championship Predictions
Fourth placed Spain take on group leaders Portugal in the Men's World Handball Championships. This is a match in Group III of the Main Round and Portugal lead it by a point from Sweden and Brazil with Spain a further point adrift. Read our match prediction below.
This is the penultimate match in the group for both countries. After this game, Sweden face Brazil, while Portugal take on bottom-of--the group Chile. The top two in the group go into the quarter-finals
Spain saw their hopes of reaching the last eight receive a blow when losing 25-24 to Norway (fifth in this group). That was a huge disappointment as they were three goals up at the break. That ended their run of nine games unbeaten.
Portugal won Group E in the Preliminary Round of this tournament and carried four points into this Main Round. They began this group with a 37-37 draw wiith Sweden needing a late goal to secure another point.
With a final match against the already eliminated Chile, Portugal should be one of the two qualifiers from this group. They'd prefer to finish top though as being runner-up would likely see them face defending champions Denmark in the last eight.
Spain have won six of their previous matches against Portugal and we tip them to win this game.

Our Spain vs Portugal Prediction
A close match looks likely here between Spain and Portugal. The Spanish side need to win to keep alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stages. The loss to Norway was the first they'd suffered since being beaten by Germany at last year's Paris Olympics.where they won bronze.
Portugal are close to unchartered territory and even if losing this match they should beat Chile and reach the last eight. Their record against Spain is poor though. Our Spain v Portugal prediction is Spain to win.
