Ireland vs Denmark Prediction & Betting tips
Monday evening the most exciting game from the last round of play is on the program: Ireland and Denmark make a direct fight from which country will win the European Championship ticket.
Ireland:
Ireland and Denmark face each other for the sixth time in two years on Monday evening. All five previous times it was also about echoes and Ireland did not win any of those five encounters. In November 2017, a World Cup ticket was at stake, but Ireland lost its good starting position from the first game (0-0 in Denmark) by losing 1-5 at home. In the Nations League, both encounters ended in a scoreless draw and the first meeting between the two countries in this qualifying pool ended in 1-1.
When Ireland finally manages to beat the Danes, it immediately takes the European Championship ticket at the expense of the Danes, who currently have three more points. In the event of a victory, both countries will come to the same number of points, but in that case the mutual result will be in Ireland’s favor. Only in the very unlikely event that Switzerland loses points against Gibraltar is there a chance that both countries will or will not go to the European Championship.
In the all-deciding game, national coach Mick McCarthy cannot rely on his captain Séamus Coleman, who has been suspended. The captain’s armband will be taken over by Shane Duffy. He was the one who headed in the equalizer five minutes before the end of the tie against Denmark. We know on Monday evening how decisive that hit will turn out to be.
Danermaken:
Denmark is at the top of Group D with fifteen points after seven matches. The Danes won twice from Gibraltar and also defeated Georgia and Switzerland in their own homes. The points were shared against Ireland, Switzerland and Georgia. However, the scenario that Denmark is left empty-handed at the end of the evening is still realistic. With a defeat in Dublin the Danes almost certainly drop (unless Switzerland loses points against Gibraltar) to third place. In that case, a second chance in the play-offs of the Nations League awaits.
However, the men of the Norwegian national coach Age Hareide have every reason to have faith in a happy ending. The Danes have been unbeaten for no less than fourteen consecutive games. Not only is this group going so far without defeat, the Nations League Division B has also been won, apart from Ireland and Wales. In addition, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel no longer had to fish five consecutive matches. The good form, the defensive stability and the excellent balance against the Irish therefore give Denmark every right to have faith in placement for the European Championship. In addition, Hareide can have a fit selection, which means that Nicolai Jorgensen is not needed.
