The UEFA Euro Qualifier between Denmark and Northern Ireland will take place at Parken on Saturday at 12:15 am IST.
On Friday night, Denmark hosts Northern Ireland at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium as the Euro 2024 qualification resumes. Both teams have played two matches and are currently tied on three points in Group H. However, Slovenia currently holds the top position in the standings with a flawless record of victories. Denmark and Northern Ireland will be eager to secure a crucial win in order to bolster their chances of progressing further in the qualification campaign. The match promises to be a competitive clash as both sides aim to assert their dominance and move up the group standings. With qualification for Euro 2024 at stake, the teams will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory, setting the stage for an intense and captivating encounter in Copenhagen.
Denmark had high hopes as potential dark horses heading into the World Cup last year, following a stretch of impressive performances and positive results. However, their campaign in Qatar turned out to be one to forget. After a draw against Tunisia and a loss to France, the team suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat against Australia, leaving them at the bottom of Group D with just one point. Four months later, Denmark commenced their Euro 2024 qualifying journey with a 3-1 victory over Finland, courtesy of an outstanding hat-trick from 20-year-old forward Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund, who has attracted interest from potential big-money moves, showcased his talent on the field. Initially, Denmark appeared to be on course for consecutive wins when Hojlund netted two goals in the first half against Kazakhstan in their second qualifier. However, a remarkable turnaround occurred as Kazakhstan scored three goals in the final 17 minutes, snatching the victory away from Denmark.
Northern Ireland had a fortunate start to their Euro 2024 qualifying journey, facing San Marino, a team that has never won a competitive match. In their opening fixture, they secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over San Marino. However, their winning momentum was short-lived as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Finland in their next match. Northern Ireland’s recent performance in the UEFA Nations League was disappointing, with just one win out of six games. Across all competitions, they have managed only two victories in their last nine matches, including two draws and five losses. Looking at their overall record, Northern Ireland has won only four of their previous 15 games, with their last away victory dating back to March 2022 against Luxembourg.
Denmark probable starting lineup: Schmeichel, Bah, Kjar, Christensen, Maehle, Norgaard, Eriksen, Hojbjerg, Jensen, Wind, Hojlund
Northern Ireland probable starting lineup: Peacock-Farrell, Cathcart, Evans, Brown, Bradley, McNair, Charles, Thompson, Lewis, Charles, Whyte
