Pre-match comments Scotland vs Denmark

Consecutive home wins against Belarus and Greece have helped Scotland gain 10 points, equal with Denmark and share the top spot in Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. However, Scotland's dream of reaching the world football festival after 28 years of absence has been seriously affected by the 2-3 defeat to Greece, which no longer has a target. This development forced coach Steve Clarke and his team to beat Denmark at home at Hamden Park.

Meanwhile, Denmark also missed the chance to secure an early ticket when they were held to a draw by Belarus in Copenhagen. So the top spot in Group C is still up in the air. Scotland will qualify directly if they beat Denmark in Glasgow; otherwise, they will have to enter the play-off round. As for Denmark, the task is easier as they only need a draw.

More than half of Scotland's current squad were not born when Scotland last played in the World Cup (1998). Clarke hopes his players will play with determination and desire to make history. However, Denmark will not be an easy opponent. The visitors have played in five of the last seven World Cups and have the experience to handle the situation they face.

Form, history of confrontations between Scotland and Denmark

Scotland have lost just one of their last five games against Denmark (W3), snapping a run of five straight defeats (from 1986 to 2004). Denmark have also lost seven of their last nine away games against Scotland (W2 in friendlies), including the last three.

Scotland have won 10 of their last 14 home World Cup qualifiers, losing just one of their last seven (W6). Denmark have won 10 of their last 11 away World Cup qualifiers, winning seven without conceding. However, Scotland were the only team to beat them 2-0 in November 2021.

Scotland have scored two or more goals in their last four matches (nine goals in total). Denmark had 35 shots in their 2-2 draw with Belarus, their most in an international match since 2006 (excluding friendlies). These details could promise a high-scoring game.
