Germany vs Spain Men’s Handball Preview
Both countries are members of Group A. While Germany took bronze in men’s handball at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Spain is the favorite to win here.

“Our first aim is to fight for medals, but it’s a long road and we need to start well,” Entrerrios, who announced his pending retirement following the Olympic Games, said the week before the match. “We will try to go as far as possible in the competition, always being clear about what has brought us here and the difficulty we will face from the first day…This is my last competition as a professional player and it is an opportunity to end my playing days in a very special way.”
