Sweden vs France Prediction & Betting Tips - Women's Olympics Handball
by Steve Ashfield | in Handball Predictions
Hosts France are up against Sweden in the semi-finals of the women's Olympic handball tournament. A win will take the victors into the final and be guaranteed a silver medal. For the losers, there's still a chance to win a bronze. Here's our match prediction.
France aren't just hosts, they are also the world champions and defending gold medalists. They made smooth progress during the preliminary round of this Olympic tournament. The French side won all five of their fixtures and with a +35 goal difference.
That took them into a quarter-final match against Germany and they won that match by a three-goal margin. The win means that they have had eight successive wins and lost just one of their last 32 matches going back to 2022.
Their last match against Sweden was in the 2023 World Championships and France won that match by a nine-goal margin. That made it five wins in a row over the Swedes since a draw three years ago.
In the Preliminary Round, Sweden finished second behind Norway in Group A. They earned eight points from five games with four wins and a loss to Denmark. The Swedes had a tough quarter-final against Hungary and needed to go to extra time before winning 36-32.
We tip France to make it to the final and win this match defying a -2 goals handicap.
