Saturday, at 19:45, Danish national moves to Dublin for the duel with Ireland from the UEFA League. The match counts for the second round of the 4th Series of the B Series, and Denmark is the leader in the group, despite some extra-sporting problems that have mitigated the likes of the past. There is no complete silence in the Irish locker room either.
Martin O’Neill, Ireland’s winner, must manage a delicate situation caused by his second Roy Keane. The former midfielder at Manchester United has come into conflict with some of the Irish players because of the injurious language he is using at training sessions. His tough style is not agreed by footballers, who complained to the selector that they can not work with the volcanic Keane. Otherwise, a popular coach, Martin O’Neill, seems to have lost his authority at the moment, and this is also seen in the team’s results.
Denmark has only one defeat in the last 10 matches!
Ireland has won a single match in the last 7, and the failures with Wales (1-4), Turkey (0-1) and France (0-2) have highlighted the lack of cohesion of the white-green group. The Irish have unpleasant memories of the duels with Denmark. because the two countries met in the play-off for the World Cup in Russia and the white-reds qualified after 0-0 in away and a definitely 5-1 home. With only one defeat in the last 10 games, Denmark had world-renowned performances and bookmakers considered it a favorite in the Saturday match.
However, Denmark will be without game leader Christian Eriksen (Tottenham), who is injured and without his passes the attack of the national is not at all brilliant. The Danes have no less than 8 players in the batch that evolves in English football, and this means that the guests know their opponents very well. Obviously, the Irish team is also evolving in-body in the Premier League and England’s lower leagues, so the two rivals do not have many surprising weapons at their disposal. Statistics show that we should not expect many goals.
The “Both Mark” bet has been the winner in just one of the last 4 direct matches between the two countries. The two teams have ducked 3 times in the last 10 years: a victory for both (5-1 for Denmark, 4-0 for Ireland) and a white draw. Defensive is the strength of the Nordic and that’s why we bet on a tight match!
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.67
