In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (0′-15 ‘).
Denmark enter this unmotivated match, after a slight on penalties against Croatia, in a game to count for the second round of the 2018 World Cup. Considering their qualities, the visiting team chooses to act with a line of four defenses, three midfielders and three advanced. The most offensive reference in Denmark is Cornelius, the spearhead of Bordeaux. So, in front of a rival with less competition, it is guessed that the foreign set adopt a more offensive strategy, with the objective of trying to take advantage of the mistakes of the rival. Coach Age Hareide can count on the usual players.
