The third quarter-final of the 2025 World Women’s Handball Championship will see the Netherlands taking on Hungary on Wednesday. The winner of this match will face either Norway or Montenegro in the semi-final on Friday evening. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Netherlands have made the most of their home advantage and progressed to the quarter-final of the World Championships with a perfect record of six wins from six games.
Bo van Wetering has been the main attacking threat for the Dutch, currently on 27 goals in the tournament. Yara ten Holte is ranked eighth among goalkeepers for shot/save efficiency at 40%.
The tournament co-hosts are currently riding an eight-match win streak in all competitions. Their only defeats in 2025 came against France in friendlies back in April.
Meanwhile, Hungary have somewhat defied the odds to reach the last eight in this competition. Regardless of the outcome here, this is their best performance at the World Championships since 2013.
Greta Marton and Katrin Klujber have been the driving force of the team's attack, combining for 49 goals so far. Anna Bukovszky has a save percentage of 56% - the second best in the tournament.
Hungary have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions, but have lost four of their last five against this opponent.
