Our tip: Spain – Chile: match handicap/Chile +13.5

16.01.2025 18:00

Spain’s handball players enter the championship with a match against Chile and take nothing but a win.

Spain is defending its bronze from the last two World Championships and was third at last year’s Olympics. There has been a partial generational turnover since then, with mainstays Maqueda, Morros, Canellas out of the squad, and the right wing missing the injured Gomez and Odriozola. For example, the 19-year-old twins from Barcelona, Petar and Djordje Cikusa, were given a chance.

Spain won all three games in January (Argentina 32:18, Slovakia 34:30, Norway 33:31). However, the victory in the dress rehearsal against Norway should not be overestimated, Norway lost surprisingly to Brazil yesterday.

Chile qualified for the World Cup for the seventh time in a row, each time dropping out after the regular group and falling into the President’s Cup. Anyway, they know how to beat stronger opponents on paper, as Spain found out at the last championship, beating Chile 34:26 after 18:15 at halftime.

The Chileans rely on the experienced trio of Salinas, Feuchtmann, Muñoz, who together have scored over 1,300 goals for the national team! Many of the players have played for Spanish clubs, so they know their opponents well.

What to bet on:

Spain will win, but it won’t be by more than 13 goals.

Confidence:

7/10
