Croatia will take on Denmark in Group A at the 2025 World Women’s Handball Championship on Saturday in Stuttgart. Croatia are third in the group standings, while Sweden are top of the table after their first game. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Croatia took a 5-2 lead inside the first five minutes against Romania in their opening match of the competition and were right in the contest at the halftime break, down by only a single goal.
However, the Romanian’s offence found their feet in the second half and surged to a 33-24 victory. Tina Barisic top-scored for Croatia with seven goals, while Lucija Besen made nine saves.
What was evident in that first match was that Croatia’s youthful squad have plenty of speed and energy, but they are lacking those experienced heads needed to rally late when needed.
Meanwhile, outside of Norway and France, Denmark is our pick to win this year’s tournament, and they posted a statement victory in their opener, smashing Japan 36-19 on Thursday.
The Danes' greatest strength comes from their squad depth, and that was evident against the Brave Hearts, when 13 of their outfield players got on the scoresheet, led by Andrea Aagot (6).
Denmark have won eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions and each of their last two against Croatia by 9+ points.

Our Croatia vs Denmark Prediction
Croatia have endured a dip in recent years, with several of their veterans now retired, leaving them with a fairly young group that still needs time to settle in order to challenge the best teams globally.
Denmark are certainly one of those teams and, while they recorded a resounding opening-match victory over Japan on Thursday, it looked like they still had a few more gears to go through. We're expecting the Danes to notch up a double-digit victory in this one. Our Croatia vs Denmark prediction is Denmark -10.5.
