Denmark are among the top European U21 teams looking to conquer the World Junior Handball Championship

Danish fans might still be crying over the U21’s narrow 39-38 loss to Spain in the 2017 final. Unfortunately, with Bet365 Sportsbook odds at 10.00, it’s unlikely that the Danish U21 team mark their return with gold medal.

They enter the 2019 competition with the best record of 11 medals: 3 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze medals. Denmark’s junior handball team were consecutive silver medalists in 2015 and 2017. This means a 2019 World Junior Handball Championship 1st place finish would be an ideal way for Denmark to improve.
