Current European and Olympic champions Norway are just two games away from adding the world crown. They face the co-hosts Netherlands in the last four of the 2025 Women's World Handball Championships. Read our match prediction below.
The winners of this match will face either hosts Germany or defending world champions France in the final.
Norway last won this title in 2021 and lost in the 2023 final to France. They have been in top form since then and are yet to lose a match in these championships. The Preliminary Round saw them defeat South Korea, Kazakhstan and Angola, scoring 106 goals in those victories.
Their strong form continued in the Main Round with further wins against Sweden, the Czech Republic and Brazil, all by at least a 13-goal margin. It was a bit closer in their quarter-final with Montenegro being defeated 32-23.
The Netherlands were world champions in 2019 and this is their first time in the semi-finals since that triumph. They finished fifth in last year's Olympics and only sixth in the 2024 European Championships.
Like Norway, they have won all of their matches so far with victories over Argentina, Egypt, Austria, Tunisia, Poland and defending champions France in the group stages. The last eight saw them beat Hungary 28-23.
We tip Norway to win on a -5.5 handicap.
