Denmark against Scotland: lignales, states and contribution -

Overview for Denmark against Scotland

Scotland’s last offer to get a place in the World Cup final after a 30 -year absence starts tomorrow evening in Copenhagen.

Steve Clarke’s men appreciated their appearance at Euro 2024, even if it ended with a group outing, but they aspire to a place among the main world nations in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.

A trip to Denmark offers the possibility of making a real declaration in a group that also includes Belarus and Greece. The Danes are the best seeds in the swimming pool and any type of result in Parken would improve the chances of Scotland to guarantee a finish among the two which would guarantee at least one eliminatory place.

It will not be simple, Denmark having won 25 of its last 28 home games in all competitions (D1 L2), keeping 18 clean sheets in the process.

Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie, who will win his 60th ceiling tomorrow evening, told BBC Sport: “It is (qualification) would be a massive achievement for all those who have been involved in this trip so far.

“It’s six massive games, six cup finals if you want. I think we are going in a good place because we know how much we want.

“We have the experience of euros and the last qualifications. We know what to do with.

“All the boys who have qualified before, I think it’s the only thing that is missing for many of us. We are desperate to do it with the gaff.”

Denmark is more established on the big stage and qualified for the last two finals of the World Cup.

Coach Brian Riemer hopes that striker Rasmus Hojlund will be able to find his best form after exchanging Manchester United for Napoli.

Hojlund is likely to get the head sign on William Osula, the Newcastle striker who was linked to Eintracht Frankfurt on Monday. Andreas Christensen returns to add a little muscle to La Défense.

Scotland received a double blow with Tony Ralston and Kieran Tierney having both had to withdraw by the injury.

The candidate of the Ballon d’Or Scott MCTOMINAY should provide a threat to the midfielder’s objective.
