Group leaders and three-time defending champions Denmark face Italy in Group B of the Men's World Handball Championship. Both countries have won their two group matches and have qualified for the Main Round. Who'll top the group? Read our match prediction.
Dernmark are one of the co-hosts for this tournament. They have had wins over Algeria and Tunisia so far in this group and scored 79 goals in the process. Both their group matches have been won by at least an 11 goal margin.
The Danes have now won 17 consecutive matches and are unbeaten in their last 19 games. They also won the Olympic title last year and haven't been beaten since losing to France in the 2024 Euros final.
Italy have also already ensured they will be playing in the Main Round. The Italians are playing in their first World Championships since 1997 and haven't played in the Euros for 27 years. They have won their two matches against Tunisia and Algeria.
Leo Prantner top scored in both matches with 17 goals scored. Their combined winning margin over the two African nations was 16 goals. That's compared to the 36 that the Danes managed.
We tip Denmark to win this match on a -10.5 goals handicap.
