Denmark vs Ukraine: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Danes will not be going to the World Cup, and they have only themselves to blame. First, they foolishly lost the top spot in their group to Scotland. Then, after crushing North Macedonia 4-0 in the first playoff match in March, they only managed a 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic and lost in the penalty shootout. Most recently, they settled for a goalless draw against DR Congo.
Ukraine have become a regular participant at the Euros, but once again failed to qualify for the World Cup. After finishing second in their group with France, Iceland, and Azerbaijan, the team headed to the playoffs again—where they immediately lost to Sweden. In Serhiy Rebrov's final match, in a purely friendly format, they defeated Albania. His successor, Maldéra, debuted against Poland. That match was won 2-0, but Trubin made several incredible saves to secure the victory.
Højlund and company average 2.7 goals per match, conceding 0.9 in return. Their guests currently score 1.6 goals per game and concede 1.5.
Previous Matches: Denmark vs Ukraine
So far, the three meetings have been balanced: the Scandinavians won the friendly, while the Ukrainians won a qualifier after a draw away.
The hosts are considered clear favorites. However, the visitors have also impressed in June—so the "both teams to score" option (odds – 1.97) is worth considering.
