Recommended betting on teams with a bench

When it comes to online sports betting, women's handball is a sport with momentum. A team can go down in flames even when scoring goal after goal. It presents opportunities for bettors who feel the tide turning.

Initially, the competition is divided into eight groups of four from A to G, which will serve as a warm-up with a match every other day. Next, three groups will be knocked out in the main round, which will comprise four groups of six teams. The groups from I to IV are already drawn together, so group A will be mixed with groups B and C with D.

During this main round, the matches always take place with a 48h rest between the games. Thus, nations with a well-stocked bench will be at an advantage when it comes to keeping their best players fresh.

The championship is divided into three parts

The first phase serves as a skimmer since it is mainly about eliminating the worst-performing countries, while the best nations use it as warm-up matches to get acclimatized to the competition.

The second phase becomes more competitive, with the first two of each group going to the quarter-finals. For the third and last phase, it becomes a straight knock-out competition. At this stage of the competition, we should find the favourite nations. All the matches until the final will be played without a net, meaning no possibility of catching up in case of a slip-up.

Bet on the favourites

Nobody has won more in women's handball tournaments than Norway. The Norwegians consistently have new generations of players coming through in winning cycles. However, for the Women's World Handball Championship and the Olympic Games, Russia has the best record. Place your bets on the women's Olympic handball games on our sports betting site.
