Russia, Sweden, and Hungary have already secured their places in the main round of the Women’s 19 EHF EURO 2021 in Celje, Slovenia after two match days in the preliminary round.
Russia defeated Slovakia 35:27 on Friday in the three-team group B, a day after Sweden had also beaten the Slovakian team. The direct duel between Russia and Sweden on Sunday will determine who win the group and how many points each team will carry into the main round.
Hungary, the 2019 champions, lived up to their billing as one of the tournament favourites with a clear 33:20 win over Czech Republic to lock up top spot in group D. The Czechs, however, are still in with a chance but will need a win over Romania in the last group match on Sunday.
