Team Reviews
Denmark (Rank 21)
Form: 2W-1D-2L in last 5; recent 5-3 aggregate loss to Portugal in UEFA Nations League quarter-finals (March 2025). Lost 2-1 to Spain in a friendly (March 2025).
Strengths: New coach Brian Riemer, appointed October 2024, brings fresh tactics. Christian Eriksen’s playmaking and Rasmus Højlund’s finishing (2 goals vs. Portugal) shine at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen. Strong home record (4W-1D in last 5).
Weaknesses: Defensive inconsistencies (conceded 8 goals in last 5). Transitioning under Riemer after Kasper Hjulmand’s exit post-Euro 2024.
Key Players: Eriksen, Højlund, Joachim Andersen.
Northern Ireland (Rank 71)
Form: 2W-2D-1L in last 5; recent 5-1 loss to Sweden (March 2025), but Isaac Price scored a late consolation (3rd consecutive game with a goal).
Strengths: Michael O’Neill’s young squad, including Conor Bradley (Liverpool) and Dan Ballard (Sunderland), shows promise. Resilient in tight games (2-0 win vs. Denmark in 2023).
Weaknesses: Inexperienced squad (only Paddy McNair and George Saville have 50+ caps). Heavy defeats vs. stronger sides (e.g., 5-1 to Sweden). Poor away form (1W-2D-2L in last 5).
Key Players: Price, Bradley, McNair.
Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 13 matches since 1978; Denmark won 5 (13 goals), Northern Ireland won 3 (10 goals), 5 draws. Last meetings: Denmark 1-0 (June 2023, Euro qualifier), Northern Ireland 2-0 (November 2023, Euro qualifier).
Trends: Denmark won only 1 of last 6 H2Hs (D3-L2). Matches are low-scoring (3 of last 5 under 2.5 goals). Northern Ireland’s 2-0 win in 2023 shows upset potential.
Prediction: Denmark 2-1 Northern Ireland
Played at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen (6:00 PM BST). Denmark prepares for World Cup qualifiers in September; Northern Ireland, in Group A with Germany, Slovakia, and Luxembourg, tests a young squad ahead of Iceland friendly (June 10). Denmark’s home advantage and Eriksen’s creativity should dominate possession, but Northern Ireland’s defensive resilience and counter-attacks via Price and Bradley keep it close. Social media (@FBPredictions, @BelTel_Sport) favors Denmark but notes Northern Ireland’s grit. A narrow Denmark win aligns with their home form and squad quality. Denmark’s attacking edge (Højlund, Eriksen) exploits Northern Ireland’s inexperience, but Price’s scoring streak may yield a goal. Recent H2H trends and Denmark’s home strength (4W-1D) support a tight victory.
