On Matchday 6 of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in Europe, the national teams of Greece and Denmark will face off on September 8, 2025. This is a key clash in the race for group leadership.
Our Prediction for Greece vs Denmark
The Greeks were a pleasant surprise in the autumn. They won five out of six Nations League matches, including against England—only the result of the return home leg saw them concede first place in the group to the favorite. Against Scotland in March, the Greeks did even better: after a 0-1 away loss, they thrashed the Scots on home soil. In June, they scored four goals each in friendlies versus Slovakia and Bulgaria.
The Danes, after a disappointing World Cup campaign, showed mixed form at the Euro but still made it into the playoffs. In the Nations League, they finished second in a group with Spain, Serbia, and Switzerland, and then won the first playoff against Portugal. However, after that 0-1 win, they suffered a heavy 2-5 defeat away. In June friendlies, Rimér’s side managed victories over both Northern Ireland and Lithuania.
Jovanović’s team began their qualifying campaign against Belarus—and won convincingly without any trouble. Eriksen and company played Scotland, but couldn’t overcome the visitors’ resistance, settling for a goalless draw.
