France vs Croatia Predictions
France are the reigning European champions and defeated Croatia twice last year. In my view, Croatia are behind in terms of quality and experience, so backing Les Bleus to win with a -1.5 handicap looks like the best bet here.

France Form
France have plenty of reasons to feel confident ahead of their semifinal clash, having won all seven games in the tournament so far.
They cruised through the group stage with three straight wins over Qatar (37-19), Kuwait (43-19), and Austria (35-27).
Les Bleus maintained their impressive form in the second phase, defeating Hungary (37-30), the Netherlands (35-28), and North Macedonia (32-25).
In the quarterfinals, France edged past Egypt 34-33, with Luka Karabatic scoring the winning goal with just 0.03 seconds left on the clock.
Croatia Form
Croatia dealt with a couple of major injury concerns during the group stage, where they underperformed. They beat Bahrain 36-22 and Argentina 33-18 but suffered a shock 28-24 defeat to Egypt.
The 2025 World Cup co-hosts raised their level in the second phase, defeating Cape Verde 44-24, Iceland 32-26, and Slovenia 29-26 to advance.
Like their upcoming opponents, Croatia secured their semifinal spot in the final seconds against Hungary, with Marin Sipic scoring the winning goal (31-30).
Verdict
Croatia found themselves in trouble multiple times during their quarterfinal clash against Hungary, trailing by three or four goals at various points in the second half. France have been impressive so far, winning all seven games, so I will back them to beat the Blazers in Oslo.
