Another group of four teams, more challenges starting this week. In Group C, which features Denmark and Scotland (as well as Greece and Belarus), this is the first qualifying match for the next World Cup. In short, there are three crucial points up for grabs because, as we know, with this formula, only the winner is guaranteed to advance.
This is a difficult match to predict. Of course, Denmark has more experience at this level, but Scotland has grown a lot in recent years and has some very important players who can always make the difference. One that immediately comes to mind is McTominay of Napoli, who was decisive last year in the Azzurri’s Scudetto victory. In short, he is one to watch.
The Danes, however, can certainly count on what appears to be a better team and more than that: they can also count on playing in front of their home crowd, which is a constant factor in matches between these two national teams. In fact, in the last five matches, the home team has always won, even if it was difficult, and there is no doubt about that. We believe this will also be the case in this weekend’s match.

The prediction
A Danish victory is expected in a match that should also see fewer than three goals in total. Looking at previous encounters, these are two teams that respect each other and are therefore likely to give each other a run for their money until the very end. However, home advantage has always been a decisive factor.
