The USA end their 2023 Men's World Handball Championship campaign with a match against Belgium. These are the bottom two countries in Group IV of the main round, neither can qualify for the quarter finals. Both are yet to earn a point in this group so this match will simply determine who finishes bottom. The USA fill that position at present and need to win this match to go above the Belgians in this group and the final rankings. So far the Americans have only won one of their five matches in these championships. That was a single goal victory over Morocco but they've lost to Egypt, Croatia, Bahrain and Denmark. 

Belgium are taking part in the finals of the world championships for the first time. They've had a good debut performance, making it into this main round. The preliminary round saw them get a win over Tunisia to ensure they progressed into the next stage of the tournament. They suffered a heavy 15 goal loss to Denmark but only lost to Bahrain by a five-goal margin. Moving into the main round of these championships, Belgium have lost to both Egypt and Croatia. The margins of defeat haven't been too wide though and they can be backed to get a win over the USA on a -3.5 goal handicap.
