Croatia vs Romania Odds
Croatia Team News
After the storm against Spain, as we silently announced and predicted Croatia slipped up against Austria in a huge drama, which finished as a 28:28 draw. The Croatians once again superbly opened the match and had a 5:1 lead, but the Austrians managed to find balance in their offense, which they kept until the end and shocked Croatia.
However, this draw against Austria can still be painless for Croatia. If Croatia manages to beat Romania and Spain beat Austria, Croatia would progress into the next stage with a maximum of two points. There is also a scenario that Austria theoretically wins at least a point against Spain, which would mean that Austria and Croatia would progress into the next stage and then Croatia would enter the next stage with only one point.
Romania Team News
Without a single doubt, Romania is the main outsider of this group and their results so far clearly show it. In the opener against Austria, which realistically doesn´t belong in the upper echelon of world handball, they were demolished by seven goals(31:24), while against Spain they suffered an even tougher 12-goal defeat(36:24).
The Romanians are basically already out of all combinations to progress from the group and should be in for another tough match and struggle against Croatia. Realistically, they have nothing to ask for against Croatia, which has a team that is at least two classes above them and will be more than motivated after the shock draw against Austria.
Croatia vs Romania Prediction
If everything goes according to plan and both Croatia and Spain win their final group matches, Croatia would progress into the next stage with a maximum of two points. We believe that scenario will happen and that Croatia will show the difference in class today against Romania and cover the spread.
