The Blues face Germany this Tuesday and hope to qualify for the main round.
Match day for the Blues at the men’s handball Euro and what a match! After largely dominating North Macedonia and then falling to the ground against Switzerland, the Blues finished this first round against the host country, Germany. In a stadium totally committed to the German cause, the French will have to demonstrate extreme solidity to avoid sinking and putting themselves in danger.
Several scenarios exist before this meeting. If the Blues win, the Blues are qualified for the main round and even finish in first place in the group. In the event of a draw, France will be second in the group and could be in difficulty in the main round. In the event of a defeat, Switzerland would have to not beat North Macedonia at the same time, or else it would have to win while keeping a general goal difference lower than that of the French. The latter have some margin since the differential is currently 23 in their favor (10 against -13).
