Denmark are top of Group B in the Olympic Men's Handball tournament. They have won both of their games and will fully expect to make it three with a win over Argentina on Wednesday. Can the Gladiators beat the Danes? Read our prediction of this match.

World champions Denmark only won the silver at the last Olympic Games. They've won the world title three times in a row and were also the silver medalists at this year's Euros. Both the Olympic and European finals saw them beaten by France.

You can imagine their delight when beating France in their opening match in this group. Monday saw them follow that victory up with a win over Egypt. They led that match by ten goals at half-time but ended up only winning by three. 

The Danes are now unbeaten in their seven matches. They faced Argentina in two warm-up matches earlier this month. Both were won by Denmark, one by a ten-goal margin and the other by 14 goals. A similar result is expected here.

Argentina didn't play at the Olympics until 2012. Three years ago they finished in last position after losing all five of their matches. A repeat might be happening in Paris. They have so far lost to Norway by seven goals and on Monday were beaten by Hungary.

The Argentinians lost that match by ten goals and it's looking  a difficult task for them to finish in the top four and qualify. We tip Denmark to win this on a  11.5 goals handicap.
