Welcome to this live broadcast of the match on the fifth day of group 1 of the main round of the 2022 European Men’s Handball Championship, between France and Denmark.
What ? The decisive match: after a perfect start to the Euro with four victories in as many games, the French team suffered a serious setback against Iceland (21-29). The Habs have revived against Montenegro (27-36). To reach the last four, Guillaume Gille’s players must win or draw against Denmark. It will not be an easy task against the crowned nation of world champions in 2021.
Which ? Seven French against seven Danes with some doubts about the absentees. Positive for the coronavirus and replaced by his assistant Erick Mathé during the last match, the coach, Guillaume Gille, is still absent this evening. Just like the center half Kentin Mahé and Nicolas Tournat, infected and placed in solitary confinement.
Where ? At the MVM Dome in Budapest, Hungary.
When ? Wednesday, January 26, at 8:30 p.m.
On which channels? TMC and BeIN Sports 1.
