The 2026 European Men’s Handball Championship kicks off on Thursday afternoon with Spain taking on Serbia. Hispanos and Orlovi are joined by Germany and Austria in Group A of this competition. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Spain arrive at the 2026 European Men’s Handball Championship with a point ot prove, having finished in 13th place in the last edition - their worst-ever result in this competition.
Hispanos also had a poor World Championship, finishing in 18th place. However, they topped their group during the qualifiers for this competition, which featured Italy, Latvia and their upcoming opponents Serbia.
Spain have won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, including two wins in three games this year, leading up to this tournament.
Meanwhile, Serbia are set to make their ninth consecutive appearance at the European Championships, but they failed to progress beyond the preliminary round in the last three editions.
Orlovi qualified for the Euros in second place behind Spain with four wins and two losses in their six games. They did not feature at the World Championship, having failed to qualify for the competition.
Serbia lost one and drew one of their two warm-up games ahead of this one. They split their two qualification games against this opponent, one win and one defeat.

Our Spain vs Serbia Prediction
Spain arrive at this competition needing to find an improvement on recent performances, having finished in 13th place in this tournament back in 2024 and failing to qualify for the World Championship quarter-finals last year.
However, they have had a good lead-up to the competition, which included a close-fought battle against Portugal earlier this week. Hispanos beat this opponent in their last meeting and we feel they will be able to do likewise in this match. Our Spain vs Serbia prediction is Spain wins.
