Denmark vs Greece prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-10-11 18:45.
[p]Denmark registered their biggest win since 2021 on Thursday, as the buoyant Group C leaders turn their attention to a World Cup qualifying (WCQ) clash against an inconsistent Greece.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It has been a smooth start to WCQ for Denmark, who sit top of Group C on goal difference after accumulating seven points from three games (W2, D1). Brian Riemer’s side made headlines by thrashing Belarus 6-0 on Thursday, but they are also built on a sturdy defence, keeping three successive clean sheets and facing only three shots on target. One of those matches was a 0-0 draw against Scotland, a result that means they have lost just once in 18 home internationals since June 2022 (W15, D2), an impressive record for a nation who are attempting to qualify for three successive World Cups for the first time in their history.[/p]
[p]Greece certainly won’t be relishing this trip having lost the reverse fixture 3-0 last month. Ivan Jovanović’s men have in fact lost back-to-back games over 90 minutes for the first time in two years, as that result was followed by a worrying 3-1 reversal to Scotland on Thursday. Hopes of reaching a first World Cup since 2014 are therefore dwindling, but Ethniki supporters can draw heart from the fact only two matches have passed since a run of four successive victories, netting at least three goals in each of them, that moved briefly moved Greece up to 39th in the FIFA rankings, their joint-highest position since 2017.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Denmark’s 3-0 victory over Greece earlier on in this qualifying campaign will not have come as a surprise to historians of the game, as the Danes have lost just one of the previous ten H2Hs (W7, D3). The Greeks’ last victory away in Denmark came back in October 1980.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Denmark have not lost a home WCQ match since October 2016 (W7, D3). [/p]
[p]Denmark have kept six clean sheets in their last eight games.[/p]
[p]Six of the last seven goals conceded by Greece have come after half-time.[/p]
[p]Six successive Greece matches have featured over 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]One man on the goal trail of late is Denmark striker Rasmus Højlund, who has netted five times in his last three appearances for club and country. The visitors will be hoping Vangelis Pavlidis is on target, as they have won the last five internationals in which he has scored. [/p]
[p]Rasmus Kristensen missed out on the Denmark squad due to injury, while Greece defender Panagiotis Retsos has a hamstring problem.[/p]
