Exciteing derby is expected today in group A where Romania and Hungary will meet each other,two big rivals in almost every sport especialy in women handball.
Hungary with big handicap as the top goal scorer from last year in champions league is not playing on this championship(Timea Toth).
In H2H meetings Hungary leads 3:2,this year they already played two times,first olympic qual. where Romania won (31:29) and in second meeting this year in Beijing where Hungary take the win(34:30).
Sure that a tight match will be played this evening in Skopje,but considering that Romania at the moment has a better team and that they are second favs. to win this EHC,i'm on romanian side!
My bet Romania straight win@1.8
Second match in group A_France vs. Danmark
Danmark team is composed by youngsters this year,there are only two experienced players in the name of Mortensen and Frelund,but they are slight favourites in this game,when they last time played against France they won by 10 goals difference,do not forget that this is much different team that will come on the field today.
For France team i can only say that they have the weakest team in this group(on paper) but i think that they are underestimated here.
EHF is specialy intresed about this match as they expect 'new stars to be born' in both teams on this champinoship,that should be ready for the olympics in London 2012!
No bet for me..
