Latest Denmark vs Greece team information
After 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 conductor Christian Eriksen could be brought in as a replacement.
Mikkel Damsgaard – who played with both at Brentford – will provide support behind the lone striker. Napoli striker Rasmus Hojlund is likely to continue leading the line after scoring three goals in his last two club games and also scoring in both of his international appearances.
On the Greek side, coach Jovanovic could change his attack after Vangelis Pavlidis missed a golden chance against Scotland. Fotis Ioannidis (Sporting Lisbon) and Tasos Douvikas (Como) are possible replacements, 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, making Greece's options even more limited in defense.
Latest predicted lineup 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 commentary on Denmark vs Greece
With a 6-0 thrashing of Belarus on Thursday, Denmark maintained their second place in the group, level on points with Scotland, and took a big step towards qualifying directly for a third consecutive World Cup.
After a 0-0 draw with Scotland in the opening match and an easy win over Greece three days later, coach Brian Riemer's team consolidated their position at the top of Group C with an overwhelming performance.
Against Belarus – who are bottom of the group – Denmark led 4-0 after half-time, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring twice and Patrick Dorgu adding another. They won 6-0 on neutral ground in Hungary, improving their goal difference to +9.
The Nordic side have won five of their first nine games under Riemer, while also keeping four consecutive clean sheets – a feat they have not achieved since October 2021. Ranked 20th in the FIFA rankings, Denmark are considered the favourites in Group C, although their path to a direct qualification is still far from certain.
To qualify for the World Cup without a play-off, Denmark must finish higher than Scotland, and the clash between the two teams next month is likely to be the “final” to decide who tops the group.
Meanwhile, Greece – Denmark's opponent in this match – just experienced a shock when they lost 1-3 to Scotland, despite being the team that opened the score.
Before that, coach Ivan Jovanovic's team had won against Scotland in the Nations League play-off round last season, then continued their winning streak with 4 consecutive wins. They scored 17 goals in that streak, including 5 goals against Belarus in the opening match of Group C.
However, a 0-3 defeat to Denmark in the second leg left them behind, and their defeat to Scotland has further dented Greece's chances. Despite controlling the game in Glasgow and Kostas Tsimikas scoring the opening goal, the blue and white team completely collapsed in the final 30 minutes, conceding three goals in a row.
With just three points from three games, Greece are four points behind Denmark and Scotland, and must win all three remaining games to have any hope of qualifying for the play-offs. If they lose in Copenhagen while Scotland beat Belarus, their first World Cup dream since 2014 will end two rounds early.
