Belarus vs Denmark prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-10-08 18:45.
[p]Belarus are looking for their first point of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying (WCQ) campaign when they host Denmark in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Not only have Belarus lost their opening two qualifiers for next summerâs tournament against Greece (5-1) and Scotland (2-0), but they have not won any of their last six competitive internationals (D3, L3), with their last such win coming away to Luxembourg in September last year. Such a run of form makes progression to a major finals as an independent country for the first time extremely unlikely on this occasion, with their only realistic goal over their remaining four games in Group C likely to be snapping a run of nine straight defeats in WCQ action. [/p]
[p]Denmarkâs expectations will be loftier than those of their opponents, as they have reached the the last four major tournaments available to them, including a semi-final appearance at Euro 2020. Despite having started their current qualifying campaign with back-to-back clean sheets, Brian Riemerâs men may be slightly disappointed that they âonlyâ have four points to show for their efforts (W1, D1). With the Nordic nation actually shutting out their last three opponents, they now have the chance to go four games without conceding for the first time since October 2021. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The two nations have faced each other just twice before – both times in their Euro 2000 qualifying group – with Denmark scoring the only goal across those fixtures. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Belarus haven’t scored more than once in any of their last ten competitive internationals. [/p]
[p]Belarus haven’t received a yellow card inside 40 minutes in any of their last five matches.[/p]
[p]Denmark have not scored inside 30 minutes in any of their last six competitive games. [/p]
[p]Just one of Denmarkâs last 12 WCQ games saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Belarusâ only scorer against Greece last month was German Barkovskiy, with that goal part of a run which has seen him fail to be on the winning side in his last five goalscoring appearances for club or country (D1, L4). Rasmus HĂžjlund also found the net against Greece during the last international break, but in a 3-0 victory for Denmark, although Napoli have failed to keep a clean sheet in the three games in which he has scored for them since then (W3). [/p]
[p]Pavel Sedko was called up by Belarus in September but was not able to play and is not available here either, while the uncapped Victor Jensen, called up by Denmark during that same international break only to withdraw due to a muscle problem, is still on the sidelines. [/p]
