Denmark vs Scotland Prediction
- Denmark are dominant at home, winning 11 of their last 12 matches and averaging 3.8 goals per game in their last five home World Cup qualifiers. Their only defeats since Euro 2024 came against Spain and Portugal, underlining their strength.
- Scotland, meanwhile, have won their last three away games, including impressive victories over Poland and Greece. They’ll rely on captain Andy Robertson and the in-form Scott McTominay to lead the charge.
- Kasper Dolberg’s eight international goals have all come in Denmark wins, while Che Adams netted a hat-trick in Scotland’s last qualifier. Expect a competitive match, with both sides likely to share the spoils.
