Italy vs Germany Prediction & Betting Tips - Handball World Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Handball World Championship Predictions
Second plays third in Group I of the Main Round of the Men's World Handball Championships. Germany are second on four points, ahead of opponents Italy on goal difference. The top two go into the semi-finals. Who'll win? Here's our match prediction.
Germany were quarter-finalists in the 2023 World Championships. Last year went well for them with a silver medal in the Paris Olympics and fourth in the Euros. A win over Italy will put them in a strong position to reach the last four.
That's especially as their final group game is against bottom-placed Tunisia who have already been eliminated. The Germans won all three of their matches in the Preliminary Round but then came up against Denmark in this Main Round. Tuesday's match saw them beaten 40-30 by the Danes.
Italy have already played Denmark in this tournament and lost to them by a 19-goal margin in the Preliminary Round. They finished second in that group with wins over Tunisia and Algeria. They began this Main Round with a 25-18 win over the Czech Republic.
The Italians are in their World Championships this century so will be pleased at how it's gone so far. This is going to be tough for them and we tip Germany to get the win here.

Our Italy vs Germany Prediction
Germany look to be on their way to the semi-finals of this tournament. They ran into world champions Denmark in their last match and as expected were beaten. With Italy and Tunisia to face in their final two Main Round games, they should finish second behind the Danes.
Italy have done well to get this far but they will struggle to make the last four if losing this game. Our Italy v Germany prediction is Germany to win on a -6.5 goals handicap.
