11.08.2021, 12:00 INTERMEDIATE REVIEW: Switzerland and Bosnia Herzegovina have qualified for semi-finals at the Men's 19 EHF Championship in North Macedonia |
||
After a total of six matches played in the preliminary round at the Men's 19 EHF Championship in North Macedonia, two teams from group B have qualified for the semi-finals: Switzerland and Bosnia Herzegovina. In group A, which is a three-team group, Poland are top of the standings after beating Greece by 11 goals in their only match played so far. GROUP A
Poland bidding for another Skopje final At the Women's 19 EHF Championship 2021 in North Macedonia, which was played earlier in the summer, Poland lost to the Netherlands in the final. While Poland have only played one match in the Men's 19 EHF Championship, their assured performance against Greece should give them confidence that they can reach a second final at a Younger Age Category tournament in Skopje this summer. GROUP B
Switzerland make strong impression With 75 goals scored in two games, Switzerland's attack sits just below Bosnia Herzegovina, who have scored 77 goals, but three players for Switzerland have already scored 10 goals or more in the preliminary round: Gian Attenhofer (13 goals), Noam Leopold (11 goals) and Robin Heinis (10 goals). When the two teams meet on Thursday, strong individual performances from multiple players would greatly enhance Switzerland's chance of clinching first place in group B.
