Latest information on the Denmark vs Greece squad
Following a smooth performance against Belarus, coach Brian Riemer is unlikely to make many changes to Denmark's starting lineup, except for one mandatory position.
Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille) is suspended for receiving another yellow card, so Christian Norgaard (Arsenal) or veteran playmaker Christian Eriksen could be brought in as a replacement.
Mikkel Damsgaard – who previously played alongside both at Brentford – will provide support just behind the lone striker. Napoli forward Rasmus Hojlund is likely to continue leading the attack after scoring three goals in his last two club games and also finding the net in both of his recent international matches.
On the Greek side, coach Jovanovic may change his attacking line-up after Vangelis Pavlidis missed a golden opportunity against Scotland. Fotis Ioannidis (Sporting Lisbon) and Tasos Douvikas (Como) are possible alternatives, while young talent Konstantinos Karetsas (Genk) could also be given a chance.
In defense, left-back Giorgos Kyriakopoulos and captain Panagiotis Retsos (Olympiacos) are both absent due to injury, further limiting Greece's options in the defensive line.
Latest predicted lineups for Denmark vs Greece
Denmark:
Schmeichel; Christensen, Andersen, Vestergaard; Maehle, Norgaard, Hjulmand, Dorgu; Dreyer, Damsgaard; Hojlund
Greece:
Tzolakis; Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Zafeiris, Kourbelis; Karetsas, Bakasetas, Tzolis; Ioannidis
Latest football match prediction: Denmark vs Greece
With a crushing 6-0 victory over Belarus on Thursday, Denmark maintained their second place in the group, level on points with Scotland, and took a big step towards securing direct qualification for the World Cup for the third consecutive time.
Following a 0-0 draw against Scotland in the opening match and an easy victory against Greece three days later, Brian Riemer's team consolidated their position at the top of Group C with a dominant performance.
Against Belarus – who were bottom of the table – Denmark led 4-0 after just the first half, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring a brace and Patrick Dorgu adding another goal. Ultimately, they won 6-0 on neutral ground in Hungary, improving their goal difference to +9.
The Nordic team won 5 of their first 9 matches under Riemer, and also kept 4 consecutive clean sheets – a feat they haven't repeated since October 2021. Ranked 20th in the FIFA rankings, Denmark is considered the strongest contender in Group C, although their path to direct qualification is not yet entirely certain.
To qualify for the World Cup without needing a play-off, Denmark must finish higher than Scotland in the qualifying round. The clash between the two teams next month will likely be a "final" to determine the top spot in the group.
Meanwhile, Greece – Denmark's opponent in this round – just suffered a shock defeat, losing 1-3 to Scotland despite having taken the lead.
Previously, coach Ivan Jovanovic's team had defeated Scotland in the Nations League play-off round last season, and then extended their winning streak with four consecutive victories. They scored 17 goals in that run, including five against Belarus in the opening match of Group C.
However, a 0-3 defeat against Denmark in the second match left them trailing, and the recent loss to Scotland has made Greece's chances even more precarious. Despite controlling the game well in Glasgow and Kostas Tsimikas scoring the opening goal, the team in white and blue completely collapsed in the final 30 minutes, conceding three goals in quick succession.
With only 3 points after three matches, Greece are 4 points behind Denmark and Scotland, and must win all three remaining matches to have any hope of a play-off spot. If they lose in Copenhagen while Scotland beat Belarus, their dream of qualifying for their first World Cup since 2014 will end two rounds early.
