The second match of the main round at the 2026 European Handball Championships will see Spain taking on Norway on Thursday afternoon. Spain and Norway both qualified by finishing second in groups A and C, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Spain kicked off their 2025 Euro Championship with back-to-back victories over Serbia (29-27) and Austria (30-25) before losing their final preliminary match 34-32 to Germany.
One of the team’s major strengths in this competition has been their all-round contributions from their players. Jan Gurrri and Ian Tarrafeta lead the goal-scorer standings with 12 apiece.
Spain have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions but lost to this opponent by one goal at last year’s World Championships.
Meanwhile, Norway made a storming start to their campaign, notching up their largest ever margin of victory at a Euros, 39-22 against Ukraine. They then beat Czechia 29-25 before losing to France 38-34.
Sandor Sagosen reached a historic milestone, scoring his 200th Euro Championship goal in the victory over Ukraine. Patrick Helland Anderson has also caught the eye in this competition.
Norway have won four of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but have only lost one of their last eight against their upcoming opponent.
