Scotland vs Denmark Analysis
It’s been a long time coming for Scotland, last making the World Cup way back in 1998. While they’ve already guaranteed a place in the European Play-Offs in March, the Scots will be hoping to automatically qualify for next summer’s prestigious tournament. But the only way that happens is by grabbing the full three points on home soil against Denmark. Steve Clarke’s men looked poor on Saturday against Greece, conceding three times in Piraeus. They were actually down 3-0 before getting two back, but it was too little too late.
At first glance, it looked like Scotland was in serious trouble in their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. However, Denmark’s shocking draw with Belarus kept the Scots’ dreams alive, and they can now book a spot in the 2026 event in front of their passionate home supporters on Tuesday at Hampden. If they lose or settle for a draw, it’ll be the Play-Offs early next year. Either way, Scotland has a real shot at playing in the World Cup.
Denmark remains unbeaten heading into matchday 10 with a 3-2-0 record in qualifying, but they certainly threw away an opportunity to qualify for the World Cup on Saturday. The Danes were actually staring at defeat on the weekend before Gustav Isaksen’s late equalizer helped his side rescue a crucial point. Denmark has just one win in four all-time meetings with Scotland, but there’s no question they will be motivated to respond here after a disappointing result to their standards.
The ultimate outcome of course matters on Tuesday, but Denmark does sit one point above Scotland in Group C. That means a lone point would do the job for qualification. Nevertheless, a victory will be the clear goal. Considering Belarus is ranked 103rd in the world, Denmark undoubtedly dropped the ball on Saturday. This is an opportunity to redeem themselves and, in the process, qualify for their second straight World Cup. The Danes bowed out in the group stages in Qatar.
Scotland vs Denmark Injury News
Scotland is without Angus Gunn, but outside of him, the hosts are fully healthy ahead of this important affair. The Danes were missing Rasmus Hojlund on Saturday because of a virus, and it remains to be seen if he’ll be ready to roll on matchday 10. Joachim Andersen is also battling an illness.
Scotland vs Denmark Picks
This should be an entertaining yet cagey affair in Glasgow, and every player will be leaving it all on the pitch. I think the home atmosphere will tip it Scotland’s way, and they’ll punch their ticket to the World Cup.
