Denmark vs Belarus Prediction & Betting Tips (15 November)

Announced as the favorite of this group C with Scotland, Denmark has for the moment justified its status quite well since it is in 1st place in the ranking of this group, precisely tied with its Scottish rival whom it is preparing to challenge in a few days in a decisive clash for qualification. Held in check by the Tartan Army on the first day, the Danish Dynamites then went on to win three games in a row against Greece 0-3, Belarus 0-6 and Greece again 3-1 to regain control of this group. However, it will be necessary to refuel today to maximize its chances of finishing at the top of these qualifiers. Opposite, Belarus was clearly not sufficiently armed to hope to boldly play its luck in the race for qualification.

Far too weak compared to the competition, the 103rd nation in the Fifa rankings lost its first 4 matches in these qualifiers and therefore brings up the rear in the rankings without a single point on the clock. Already beaten by Greece 5-1 and by Scotland in September 0-2, this selection suffered again during the last international break by losing heavily against Denmark 0-6 then again against Scotland 2-1. 

The Scandinavians will not be able to count on the services of left back Maehle (Wolfsburg, 55 selections, 11 goals) who is injured. His club partners Lindstrom (18 sels) and Skov Olsen (40 sels, 8 goals) and the attackers Dolberg (Ajax, 56 sels, 12 goals) and Biereth (Monaco, 7 sels, 1 goal) are not there either. The majority of Danish executives are still available, such as goalkeeper Schmeichel (Celtic, 118 sel), defenders Christensen (Barcelona, 77 sel), Vestergaard (Leicester, 57 sel), Andersen (Fulham, 47 sel) and Kristensen (Eintracht Frankfurt, 30 sel) and midfielders Hojbjerg (OM, 91 sel, 11 goals), Norgaard (Arsenal, 37 sel), Hjumland (Sporting, 23 sel) and O'Riley (OM). Up front, the very experienced Eriksen (Wolfsburg, 146 sel, 46 goals) could hold his place as could the formidable Hojlund (Napoli, 20 sel, 12 goals), Wind (Wolfsburg, 36 sel, 8 goals) and Damsgaard (Brentford, 36 sel, 6 goals).

On the Belarusian side, the squad is logically much less well stocked and the vast majority of players called up play in the weak domestic championship or in second-rate championships. However, defender Martynovitch (83 sels) and midfielder Gromyko (27 sels, 3 goals) are still playing in the Champions League this season with Kairat Almaty. The top scorer of this team is midfielder Maks Ebong (Astana) who has scored 5 goals in 51 caps.
