France vs Croatia Prediction: the Frenchmen Won't Stop On Their Way to the Final

The French national handball team is looking good as one of the main favorites for the 2025 World Championship. They're on their way to the semifinals and haven't lost a single game. Now, the French team just need to take that last step towards the main match of the championship when they play Croatia at home. We've got a free prediction and a few bets on this game for you.

France

Guillaume Gil's team lost to Egypt in the quarterfinals, and it was definitely the hardest game for the French team at this tournament. The hosts was ahead for most of the match, but couldn't really get a big lead and ended up with a close score of 34:33. France barely made it to the semifinals, but once again proved the power of their offense. At the current championship, they have won seven out of seven matches so far and have never left the court with less than 32 goals scored.

Croatia

The Croatian national team is playing this tournament at home and has already achieved great success; the Croats have not reached the semifinal stage in three consecutive World Cups. In the quarterfinals, the squad had to suffer. They faced a strong Hungarian team, and the outcome of the game, as in the case with France, was decided by just one accurate shot—31:30. This means that Croatia has now won four matches in a row. In the group stage, Dagur Sigurdsson's team didn't lose a single match, and in the preliminary round, they won two out of three matches, losing only to Egypt.
