Germany Faces Portugal in Handball World Championship Quarterfinals

The German team seeks to overcome inconsistent form against an in-form Portuguese side to secure a semifinal spot in Oslo tonight.

Germany's handball team will compete against Portugal in the World Championship quarterfinals tonight at 20:30 CET in Oslo.
The German team, led by coach Alfred Gislason, has shown mixed performances in the tournament, winning five out of six games but struggling against top teams like Denmark.
Portugal enters the match undefeated in the tournament, showcasing strong performances, including a draw against Sweden and victories over Spain and Chile.
Key German player Juri Knorr is expected to play limited minutes due to recent illness, while Portugal's Costa brothers have been standout performers, contributing significantly to their team's scoring.
Germany has historically dominated Portugal in head-to-head matchups, winning 10 of their 11 meetings, but the teams' current forms suggest a closely contested game.
