World Handball Predictions: the statistics you need to know
To make the right predictions for the World Handball Championship, you need to know the key figures for the competition. For a start, it's worth noting that the quality is always on show at World Handball tournaments. In fact, at the last edition of the tournament, the average number of goals scored was even higher than in previous editions, with an average of 57.8 goals scored per match. Our advice for this 2025 World Cup is therefore to favour over bets.
Generally offered at good odds, these over bets have a good chance of being successful again in this competition. For example, in the last edition, the ‘+50.5 goals scored’ bet was successful in 82% of matches, while the ‘+52.5 goals scored’ bet landed in 78% of matches. These are very good ratios, which should give you a strong chance of success.
Note also that there is a slight difference in the points scored between the group stages and the finals. In recent editions, the final phase matches have often been the highest in points. As far as the volume of goals scored is concerned, the last duels will therefore be the ones to favour at this 2025 edition in Norway, Denmark and Croatia.
Then, if you want to place handicap bets on this 2025 World Championship, you should know that they can also be very interesting. With an average difference of 7.5 goals per match in 2023, large margin victories are to be expected again this time, especially in the group stages. Don't hesitate to try the bookmakers' handicap bets, which are also offered at attractive odds.
Finally, note that the number of draws remains fairly low in handball. In the last edition, there were 3% draws in total over the competition. So bet on a win for one of the two teams most of the time, without worrying about a draw, which happens very rarely. Expert advice!
