Denmark v Northern Ireland Betting Tips [16 June 2023]

Denmark will return home to take on Northern Ireland in their next Group H game in Euro 2024 qualifiers. Going into this game, Denmark are second in the standings while Northern Ireland are fifth, both on three points. The shock loss to Kazakhstan will be fresh in the Danes’ minds as they go into this game. They led 2-0 after 35 minutes in that game but capitulated in the second half to lose 3-2. Rasmus Hojlund has scored all of Denmark’s five goals so far in the qualifiers and will be a man to watch. In their opening game in this group, his hat trick delivered a 3-1 win over Finland. That remains as their only win in five matches, and they have no clean sheet in the last four. Denmark have lost three times in the last four matches. It is in defence that they will seemingly have to do the most work, with just three clean sheets in 10 matches. They’re however unbeaten in the last eight home matches in Euro qualification.

Northern Ireland failed to build on their opening win over San Marino, losing at home to Finland in their last game. That loss was their second in three matches. While they have scored twice in three of the last five, Northern Ireland have just one clean sheet in that run. Twice in their last five matches, they’ve conceded more than a goal. Three of Northern Ireland’s last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The team has failed to score in just one of the last five matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. In eight matches in Euro qualifiers, Northern Ireland have managed just one win inside 90 minutes. The fact that they will miss a number of senior players in this game will not augur well for Northern Ireland. However, skipper Johnny Evans will be available for his 101st cap.

Denmark have the upper hand here, their run in recent home matches in this competition is the lift they need. They’ll hope to bounce back but defensively, they haven't done well. Northern Ireland haven't done well defensively either. Our prediction for Denmark v Northern Ireland is for Denmark to win and both teams to score.
