Sweden aim to stay perfect as four teams hunt first main round wins
Main round group II of the Men's EHF EURO 2026 is set to throw off again at Malmö Arena on Sunday with three decisive clashes on the schedule. Sweden lead the group with four points after staying perfect so far, while Iceland, Slovenia and Croatia follow on two points each.
However, Iceland and Slovenia's two points were carried over from the group phase, as both sides suffered defeats in their opening main round matches. Hungary and Switzerland share bottom place after settling for a mutual draw and will be looking to bounce back and kick-start their campaigns.
A really tough game and a world-class team, and one who can win the tournament. It will be really difficult, but it’s a European championship and we don’t have much time to be sad, we just have to keep going, focus on the next opponent and try to be ready for that game.
It’s kind of going to be interesting. The way they play with the strong defence and good fast breaks and running, it’s going to be a big challenge for us.
It’s never going to be easy here. We see it every day, there are some difficult results to get, so we have to find some power to come strongly into that game.
