Portugal are top of Group III in the Main Round of the 2025 Men's World Handball Championships. They take on second placed Sweden on Wednesday, can the Portuguese side continue their good form? Here's our match prediction.
Portugal topped Group E in the Preliminary Round of this tournament. They beat Brazil, Norway and the USA to finish two points clear. Four points were carried forward into this Main Round and that has them a point clear of Sweden.
After this match, they have to play Spain and Chile and are in with a good chance of reaching the semi-finals of these championships for the first time.
Sweden finished top of Group F with five points from their three games. Wins came against Japan and Chile before a 29-29 draw with Spain. That was disappointing as they led by five goals at the break. It also meant only three points were carried into this Main Round group.
The Swedes are only ahead of third-placed Spain on points difference with the top two going into the semi-finals. They have Brazil and Norway to play after this game, so it's not an easy group for them.
Sweden are unbeaten in their last five matches. We go for over 58.5 goals to be scored in this match.
