Denmark vs Finland Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd March 2023
Denmark is set to go up against Finland this coming Thursday at Parken. This is their first game in the European Championship qualifying stage. Finland celebrated a 0-1 win in their most recent meeting with their upcoming opponent. Are we in for something similar at Parken this coming Thursday?
Within group H, six nations are competing against each other, with Denmark, Finland, Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland, San Marino, Slovenia all striving to qualify for the European Championship. Finland travel to this game against Denmark as number 56 in the FIFA world ranking, with the home side sitting as number 18.
Three points look like a given for Denmark, when they open their campaign at Parken. It would be highly surprising to see Finland get anything from their first away game in the European Championship.
Denmark is heavily favoured to take first place in their group, and it would be a major surprise if they don't qualify as group winners with relative ease. Whilst outsiders to top their group Finland still seem to have a decent opportunity to at least qualify for the knock-out stage. Though a tough group, we certainly shouldn't count them out.
Denmark vs Finland Prediction
Denmark Form
In their previous three outings, Denmark drew 0-0 with Tunisia, before losing 2-1 against France and 1-0 against Australia. Denmark managed to win two of their past six internationals. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost one, as they scored ten and conceded two goals.
Finland Form
Finland got away with only one point from their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 1-1 draw with Norway. Then Sweden proved too strong in a 2-0 defeat, just like Estonia who won 0-1. Finland claimed just one win from the last six internationals. These also drew two and lost three games, as they were outscored by eight goals to six.
Denmark need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.
Denmark failed to record a win in any of their previous three games.
Finland were unable to claim a victory in any of their previous four outings.
