Denmark – Northern Ireland : Preview & Prediction
Denmark should, barring any surprises, finish in the top two places in Group H and qualify for next year’s Euro in Germany. Currently 2nd behind Slovenia on 6 points, Denmark are in a group with 3 points (Northern Ireland, Finland, Kazakhstan). Martin Braithwaite’s partners, who are coming off a disappointing World Cup in Qatar (1 draw and 2 defeats), need to get back on track if they are to qualify for these qualifiers. The world’s 19th-ranked nation got the mini-league off to a good start with a comprehensive home win over Finland (3-1), but the latter fell short on the second day in Kazakhstan (3-2). Leading 2-0 until the 73rd minute, the Danes collapsed in the last 20 minutes to the point of taking 3 points! Northern Ireland were unable to confirm their success in San Marino (0-2) achieved on Matchday 1, as the 62nd world nation were defeated at home by Finland (0-1) on March 26. With 2 defeats in their last 3 trips to Kosovo (3-2) and Greece (3-1) in the Nations League, O’Neill’s team are not shining away from Belfast’s Windsor Park.
