Ireland vs Denmark Prediction & Betting tips
On Matchday 3 of the League of Nations, League B, Group 4, is the match between Ireland and Denmark. It will be played on Saturday night at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Both nations met for the last time in November 2017 at the playoffs for the World Cup in Russia. After a 0-0 in the first leg in Denmark, the Scandinavians won the second leg in Ireland with 5: 1 and thus solved the ticket for the World Cup finals. Ireland now conceded a bitter 1: 4 defeat in Wales to open the Nations League. The Danes, on the other hand, won their first game in the new competition at home 2-0 to Wales. The record between Ireland and Denmark speaks with five wins, six draws and four defeats easily for the Boys in Green.
Ireland:
Since November 2013 Ireland is being trained by Northern Irishman Martin O’Neill. O’Neill led the team by a victory in the play-offs against Bosnia-Herzegovina for Euro 2016. There, the boys eliminated in Green in the round of 16 against hosts France. Also in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup Ireland reached the playoffs. But this time they drew against Denmark the short straw. The first international match of the new season went for the Irish then with the 1: 4 in Wales also bad in the pants. After that, the criticism of O’Neill grew louder and louder. Experts suggest that his days as Irish national coach could be numbered, even if the next two Nations League games against Denmark and Wales are lost.
Ireland made a little reparation in the subsequent friendly when they reached 1-1 in Poland. O’Neill’s assistant coach is Irish football legend Roy Keane. Currently, about one third of Irish players come from the Premier League. The other two-thirds of the squad play in the second English league. The guys from the Green Island usually rely on a battle-oriented game with many high and second balls. Mostly played in shallow 3-5-2. The form of the Irish in recent months was not so intoxicating: in the recent seven internationals, there was only one victory, but four defeats. O’Neill will have to do without Everton defender Seamus Coleman against Denmark. After a disagreement with assistant coach Keane, however, Harry Arter of Cardiff is back in the squad. The bookies are slightly disadvantaged by Ireland versus Denmark, but overall the betting odds are balanced.
Denmark:
Since December 2015, the Norwegian Age Hareide in Denmark has the shots. He was the successor of Morten Olsen, who had resigned after the Dane in the play-off games for the European Championship 2016 against Sweden. Hareide then led Danish Dynamite through the playoffs for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In a group with France, Peru and Australia, the Scandinavians ended up with a win and two draws second place and thus qualified for the knockout stages. There, however, the team failed on penalties to Croatia. In the first international match after the World Cup, Denmark conceded a 0: 3-Testspielpleite in Slovakia. In this game, the Danish national team had started after a strike by the regular national team because of the distribution of sponsorship funds only with a B-Elf of semi-professionals and amateurs.
In the first Nations League game against Wales, the regulars then, after they had been able to agree with the association, brought home a 2-0 victory. Before the defeat in the World Cup knockout round tie against Croatia, Danish Dynamite had been without defeat since 18 official FIFA World Cup matches and nearly a year and a half. The only two defeats had been in early 2018 in two non-official friendly matches at the training camp in Abu Dhabi. In Ireland, the Irish have to do without their top star Christian Eriksen, who scored both goals against Wales. Even without the main player, the Danes in Dublin should play in the usual, defensive 4-3-3.
