Denmark hosts Ireland in round 3 of Euro Qualification. The match will be played on Friday, June 7th at Telia Parken (Copenhagen)
The Danes played unconvincingly in defense in their last matches (they conceded 3 goals from Switzerland and two goals from Kosovo). However, the Red-whites do not often have such failures. In the Nations League, for example, the national team defended their penalty area reliably, conceding only 1 goal in 4 matches. And the Danes kept a clean sheet with the Irish twice. The Red-whites defended well in the qualifying campaign for the World Cup (only 8 goals conceded in 10 games). Finally, Denmark played in the defense reliably at the very world championship. In 4 matches, the team conceded only 2 goals, despite the fact that it competed with purely attacking teams.

The Irish traditionally has a reliable defense. Yes, failures occur periodically, but in general, the Green Army concedes no more than 1 goal. Thus, the Greens coped with the attack of the Danes in the Nations League, playing both meetings with a clean sheet. Ireland also didn’t concede from Georgia in the current qualifying campaign. In the previous World Cup qualifiers, the national team also played greatly in defense: only 6 goals conceded in 10 games. And the Irish had a "death group", as there were 4 applicants for the 1st and 2nd lines. If it was necessary, the Greens did not hesitate to act in deep defense even in their own field, which allowed them to successfully contain the attacks of rivals.
Both meetings of the teams in Nations League ended with a 0-0 score, and I do not think that we will see an abundance of goals in the upcoming match. In the home game against the Irish, the Danish national team delivered as many as 26 shots on goal, arranged total domination, but by and large, did not have goal attempts. The Greens will be pleased with a draw, so they will entrench themselves in their penalty area. With such a game, it is unlikely that the Irish will be able to score. Even in matches with Gibraltar and Georgia, they looked dull in the attack. Yes, they constantly came close to the opponent's penalty area, but further, we saw unaddressed passes and high crosses. In this way, Ireland will not break the defense of the Danes. The Red-whites successfully play in the air, and they will clear the ball away after high crosses without any problems. The Greens have not created anything near the box of Denmark in the previous two games, and it is unlikely that something will change now.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
