On March 23, Parken Stadium (Copenhagen) will host the match of the first round of the Euro 2024 Qualification, in which Denmark will compete with Finland. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Denmark

The team is now forced to demonstrate that it has been staying at its already familiar level. After all, having played in the World Cup 2018 and in the excellent, albeit dramatic, Euro 2020, which began with a shocking incident with Eriksen, and ended only in the extra time of the semi-final against England at Wembley, there was a de facto failure in Qatar. There, the Danish team started with a 0-0 draw in the match with Tunisia, after which it lost not only to France, but also to Australia – as a result, there were no chances to overcome the group stage. However, Kasper Hjulmand has retained his coaching position. Moreover, the squad is basically the same, taking into account the injury of Eriksen, Dolberg, Skov Olsen and Lindstrom. Although Delaney, Skov, Vestergaard, Cornelius and Bruun Larsen may become “unsuitable”, according to the coaching staff, due to losing the competition with the potential debutants.

Finland

The national team just during the previous Euro reached its peak, making the debut in the “great” tournament. Generally speaking, Markku Kanerva’s wards, “the Suomi”, both in qualifying for the World Cup and in the previous UEFA Nations League, showed pretty good results, but mostly at the average level. Nowadays, there may be a number of problems with defence because of various reasons – Uronen, O’Shaughnessy, Vaisanen and Lam as well as the experienced Granlund will not be available in the following battle – it goes without saying that the higher mentioned players are the part of the starting line-up. As a result, there are only half a dozen defenders in the current list, and half of them have played six or fewer times. It is reasonable to say that the reliability on its own half was the main trump card of “the Owls”.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Denmark had got four wins and a single draw. Still, the Finns, who made their debut there, beat the rival, shocked by the loss of Eriksen, with a 1-0 score at Euro 2020.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the Danish team, which needs to be rehabilitated for the failure in Qatar, and has a beef with other Scandinavians, to be the favourite of the following struggle. Thus, we are waiting for the hosts to win with “a -1.5 goal handicap” (odd: 2.06).
