The Euro Champ Qualifiers match between Northern Ireland and Denmark will take place at Windsor Park on Tuesday at 1:15 am IST.
Denmark heads to Belfast to take on Northern Ireland on Monday after securing qualification for Euro 2024 in their ninth match. A 2-1 victory against Slovenia at Parken on Friday ensures that Kasper Hjulmand will guide the team to their third consecutive major competition during his tenure.
Already secured for the upcoming finals and having clinched the group victory, Denmark aims to add three more points in the hope of securing a pot one seeding. While a draw guarantees a pot two placing, a combination of a Denmark win and a Spain loss to Georgia could elevate them to pot one. Despite a less convincing qualification compared to their flawless World Cup 2022 qualification, Denmark, led by Thomas Delaney’s decisive goal on Friday, has overcome an initial struggle. The 1992 champions, however, seek redemption after a disappointing Qatar World Cup, where they exited in the group stage following a loss to Australia.
Northern Ireland concludes a challenging campaign after a tumultuous period on the international stage. The team suffered a 4-0 defeat in Finland on Friday, marking their seventh loss in nine group matches. The Green and White Army’s only victories were against San Marino, the world’s lowest-ranked nation. In a match against Denmark, they felt aggrieved as a harsh VAR decision disallowed Callum Marshall’s 94th-minute equalizer. With no chance to fall back on a playoff spot due to a poor Nations League showing, Northern Ireland’s campaign, marred by losses to Cyprus, Greece, and Kosovo, concludes with just three wins in 16 competitive outings.
Northern Ireland probable starting lineup: Hazard, Toal, McNair, Ballard, Hume, McCausland, Saville, Thompson, Price, Lewis, D Charles
Denmark possible starting lineup: Schmeichel, Maehle, Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard, Kristiansen, Hojbjerg, Norgaard, Delaney, Wind, Poulsen
