Denmark were one of the most impressive nations at Euro 2020 though they fell at the semis to England, and they will hope to extend their good run when hosting Scotland for the 2022 World Cup qualification clash. The Danes have been explosive so far in the World Cup qualifiers and go here having won all three in Group F, placing them four points ahead of second placed Scotland. They however have one clean sheet in the last five matches, with each one of them having ended in over 2.5 goals. They’ve conceded twice in two or the last five matches but scored two or more in three of the last five. In World Cup qualification matches, Denmark are unbeaten in 12 matches, winning nine, and they haven’t conceded so far in this group. In the three matches in Group F, Denmark have scored 14 goals. These two nations last met competitively in 1986, with Denmark winning 1-0.

The last meeting between these two nations was in a 2016 friendly match which Scotland won 1-0, that coming after an earlier 2-1 win in 2011. They’ll want to do it in a competitive match this time, and a win here will really boost their chances. The Scots go to this game without two key men, John McGinn and Scott McTominay with covid and injury respectively. They didn’t have a good run at the Euros and will be hoping to give a better push in the qualifiers, where their only win has come against Andorra. Scotland head to this game winless in three matches, with two clean sheets in five and two of the five having produced over 2.5 goals. In the last 10 matches, they have managed just two wins and failed to score in four. Away from home, they have one win in seven matches and two clean sheets only. Four of Scotland’s last five World Cup qualification matches away from home have produced over 2.5 goals.
