H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Greece Team Overview
Greece is getting involved in the competitive process after a long break, which negatively affects their immediate prospects. The team has a number of quality players. However, there are not enough resources to achieve fantastic results. At the end of last fall, the "blue and whites" barely overcame Georgia (27:26), and also lost to the Bosnians in a close fight (22:23). Earlier, the guys even went through a series of four losses, which clearly did not add confidence in their abilities.

Iceland Team Overview
Iceland is tackling far more serious issues. Although it does not dominate everyone indiscriminately. Last winter, the team failed to reach the World Championship playoffs, recording four victories to their name. The Scandinavians only lost to the Croatians (26:32), which led to catastrophic consequences. Nonetheless, underestimating the "Tricolours" would still be imprudent, as they look formidable against the majority of competitors.

Editorial Prediction
In this match, in our opinion, Iceland looks much more preferable. Greece's indicators inspire significantly less optimism, and we believe that this time they will not cope with the powerful onslaught of the skillful opponents. A victory for the visiting team with a handicap of -2.5 is the preferred option for the match.
