POR vs EGY Dream11 Prediction: In a Group B clash, Portugal and Egypt will look to start off their Olympics Men campaign in a perfect way when they both clash at Tokyo / Yoyogi National Stadium on Sunday afternoon (IST). Here is everything you need to know about POR vs EGY Dream11 match prediction.
Portugal are playing in their first-ever Handball Olympics campaign while this will be the seventh appearance for Egypt at the quadrennial event. So expect a high-octane clash between these two teams who come with low expectations. That said, Egypt still holds the upper hand, at least in this particular game, due to their experience and slightly better roster. But Portugal have grown over the years and can cause trouble.
