Denmark and the Netherlands are set to face off in the Olympic Games Women's Quarter Final of the handball competition on Tuesday afternoon. The winner of this match will move on to face either Norway or Brazil in the semi-final on August 8. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Denmark women’s handball team is the only team in the history of the sport to win three consecutive gold medals (1996, 2000, 2004), but they have experienced a notable decline since then.
However, they are en route to return to the podium this year, after finishing third in group A of the preliminary round with a 4-1 record, scoring 126 goals, while conceding 116, which was the second-fewest of any team in the group stage.
The Danes beat Slovenia (27-19), Sweden (25-23), Germany (28-27) and South Korea (28-20). Their only loss was to Norway (27-18).
Meanwhile, the Netherlands are featuring in their third consecutive Olympic Games, with their two previous campaigns ending in fourth place in 2016 and fifth in 2020.
Oranje Dames came second in Group B with a 4-1 record, including wins over Angola (34-31), Spain (29-24), Brazil (31-24) and Hungary (30-26). Their only defeat was was against France (32-28) in game two.

Our Denmark vs Netherlands Prediction
Given their history at the Games and world ranking, Denmark enter the quarter-final of this competition as massive favourites, though that feels a little harsh on the Netherlands, who have been excellent here in Paris.
Oranje Dames have also been the superior side in this matchup in recent times and we feel that even if they lose here, it will be by the slenderest of margins. Our Denmark vs Netherlands prediction: Goals Handicap - Netherlands +2.5!
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
