The Estonian men s national handball team will host Austria for a 2022 European Championship qualification group stage match in Kalev sports hall in Tallinn. The match will begin at 7.20 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ETV2, ERR s sports portal, also available here.
The previous meeting between the two teams in November ended with Austria taking a 31:28 (16:16) victory. Estonia played well in the first match-up and did not let Austria get off to a big lead. Karl Toom scored 11 goals for Estonia, 130-kg Tobias Wagner was the high point man for Austria with seven goals in November. It has been some time since our previous meeting, but we have analyzed it, of course. It is very important to the players that we have already met once. But it is still more useful to see how Austria played Bosnia and Herzegovina in March (Austria lost 27:21 - ed), said Estonian national team head coach Thomas Sivertsson.
