Denmark vs Scotland

Denmark will be looking to move a step closer towards finishing top of World Cup Qualifying Group F when they take on Scotland at Parken Stadium.

After stealing the hearts of neutral supporters with a spirited Euro 2020 performance that saw them reach the competition’s semi-finals, Denmark will be looking to extend their 100% start to this World Cup Qualifying campaign (W3). Kasper Hjumland’s men have been nothing short of outstanding in the ongoing qualifying series, having scored 14 goals without reply to mark their best-ever start to a World Cup Qualifying campaign. Warm favorites to keep their impressive qualifying form going here, the Danes take on a Scotland side they have lost to four times across their previous five competitive H2Hs (W1). But it’s worth noting that their last such encounter dates back to June 1986. Since going down 2-0 to Belgium in the UEFA Nations League in September 2020, the hosts have racked up a six-game unbeaten home streak (W5, D1), friendlies included.

On the other hand, Scotland’s 4-0 thumping of the Faroe Islands in their most recent World Cup qualifier marked their first victory in the ongoing qualifying series after back-to-back draws. Unlike their opposition, though, Scotland endured an underwhelming Euro 2020 campaign (D1, L2), bowing out already in the group stage with a single goal scored from three matches. In turn, the visitors have netted just one goal across their last three competitive away fixtures (D1, L2), all of which featured under 2.5 total strikes. Indeed, low scoring is likely to be a theme here, with three of Scotland’s last four internationals seeing one or both sides fail to score in matches garnering under 2.5 overall goals. But manager Steve Clarke can draw upon his team’s fighting spirit that has seen them come from behind to avoid defeat twice in the ongoing World Cup Qualifying campaign (D2).
