USA vs Cuba Prediction & Picks - Handball World Championship

 by Tyler Doty | in Handball World Championship Picks

The USA and Cuba will meet in the Presidents Cup on Friday at the 2025 Handball World Cup. 

Handball does not play a major role in sports-mad America. The US national handball team has correspondingly few successes to show for itself. As the host of the 2028 Olympic Games, the USA received a WIldcard for the 2025 World Handball Championships. Two years earlier, they finished in 20th place at the 2023 World Handball Championships. This year, they did not make it into the main round, so the USA will now play in the Presidents Cup. 

A handball dwarf awaits in the second game with Cuba. After all, the Cuban team was the strongest handball team in North and South America in the 80s and 90s. However, the political unrest has made it increasingly difficult for Cuba in recent years, as many of the association's players have used their time abroad to flee the country. As a result, Cuba is constantly having to rebuild its squad. Cuba has now qualified for a World Handball Championship for the first time since 2009.

Our USA vs Cuba Prediction

Nevertheless, the teams want to gain experience at the highest level in the unplayed Presidents Cup. While the Americans won their first match against Belgium and improved over the course of the tournament, Cuba has lost all of its matches at the 2025 World Handball Championship so far. In general, the two teams have developed in completely different ways. The USA is trending upwards, while the Cubans have tended to deteriorate in recent years, partly due to the complicated political situation. The last two matches between the two nations also went to the USA.

Our prediction for the match between the USA and Cuba is: USA win.
