Switzerland Entertaining but Inconsistent
Switzerland’s hopes of reaching the semifinals were significantly damaged after failing to beat Hungary in their Main Round opener, a dramatic 29-29 draw in which they squandered a six-goal half-time lead.
That was already their second draw of the tournament, following an opening 28-28 stalemate against the Faroe Islands. In between those results, they suffered a 38-35 defeat to Slovenia in another wild, end-to-end contest. Noam Leopold was the standout performer across those games, scoring a combined 13 goals.
Needing a convincing display in their final group match, Switzerland delivered in style by demolishing Montenegro 43-26 in Oslo, completely controlling the second half 21-10 to secure progression.
Croatia Relying on Firepower Amid Defensive Concerns
After advancing to the Main Round with zero points, Croatia kept their semifinal hopes alive by edging out Iceland 30-29 two days ago. The Cowboys controlled the tempo from start to finish despite the narrow scoreline, with Mateo Maras leading the scoring with seven goals.
During the group phase, Croatia initially struggled against minnows Georgia, scraping a 32-29 win largely thanks to Mario Sostaric’s nine goals. Their overall performance improved in the second match, where they dictated the pace in a comfortable 35-29 victory over the Netherlands.
However, Croatia’s defensive issues were brutally exposed in the decisive group clash against Sweden. They were never competitive in that matchup and fell to a 33-25 defeat, with Zvonimir Srna’s seven goals offering little consolation.
Verdict
Switzerland scored 106 goals and conceded 92 across their three group-stage matches, with every one of those games played at a fast pace. Croatia showed serious defensive vulnerabilities against Sweden, and with both sides preferring open basketball-style handball, backing Over 58.5 goals looks like the right call here.
