World Cup qualifiers sees Belarus, desperate to stop their slide after three straight losses, while Denmark are flying high and chasing top spot in their group. So, who’s got the edge this time? Let’s break it down.
Belarus fans are feeling the pressure right now. After defeats to Greece and Scotland, the team’s confidence has clearly taken a hit. You could see it in that 0–2 loss to Scotland — just 27% possession and only three shots on target. They’ve struggled to control games, and that’s a worry when Denmark are coming to town.
The bright side? There are no new injury concerns for the hosts. Head coach Carlos Alós Ferrer can stick with his regular starters, hoping for a bit more magic from Zakhar Volkov, who unfortunately scored an own goal last time out but remains a key man at the back. Expect Lisakovich and Ebong to lead the charge up front as Belarus look to turn possession into actual chances.
As for Denmark, things are looking a lot rosier. Brian Riemer’s squad are in rhythm and full of confidence after a comfortable 3–0 win over Greece. Goals from Mikkel Damsgaard, Andreas Christensen, and the in-form Rasmus Højlund sealed it — and they barely broke a sweat.
The Danes should stick with a familiar lineup, and you can expect Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to return to midfield control duty alongside Christian Eriksen. Højlund’s scoring touch has been sharp this autumn — five goals in his last six games — and he’ll be a nightmare for the Belarus backline.
Belarus: Ignatovich; Shvetsov, Volkov, Politevich, Polyakov; Ebong, Klimovich; Savitsky, Yuzepchuk, Lisakovich; Shkurin.
Denmark: Schmeichel; Kristensen, Andersen, Christensen, Maehle; Eriksen, Højbjerg; Damsgaard, Skov Olsen, Wind; Højlund.
This one feels like a classic “attack versus survive” matchup. Belarus are at home, but let’s be real, they’ll need to play way above their recent form to get anything here. They’ve scored just twice in their last three games and conceded seven. That’s not a good look against one of Europe’s most consistent sides.
Denmark, on the other hand, have bagged 13 goals in their last six matches, and their defence has held up nicely too — just six conceded. They’ve got control, confidence, and creativity in all the right areas.
Betting angles worth a look:
Belarus might have one or two moments, but Denmark’s structure is miles ahead.
Denmark will likely dominate possession, push Belarus deep, and look for openings through Damsgaard and Eriksen’s passing. Højlund will keep defenders busy all night, and it wouldn’t be a shock if he finds the net again.
Belarus will likely try to hit on the counter — they’ve got the pace for it — but against Denmark’s organised backline, chances will be few and far between. The big question is whether they can hold out long enough to stay in the game.
Match Prediction: Denmark to win. Bet with bet365.
This one feels pretty straightforward. Denmark look sharper, quicker, and far more confident in front of goal. Belarus might hang on for a bit, but it’s hard to see them keeping the Danes quiet for 90 minutes.
Correct Score Prediction: Belarus 0–3 Denmark
Denmark have too much quality all over the pitch, and if Højlund gets service, it could get ugly fast.
Correct Score Prediction: Belarus 0–3 Denmark. Bet with bet365.
Here’s the thing: when Denmark play, there are usually goals. Their last six games have averaged over 3 goals per match, and Belarus’s recent fixtures haven’t exactly been dull either — 25 total goals in their last six outings.
If you’re thinking of backing goals, over 2.5 feels solid. Feeling brave? Over 3.5 could land too, especially if Denmark get an early breakthrough.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Alright, if you fancy a small combo bet, here’s one I’d go for:
That covers the expected flow — dominant Danes, goals on the board, and the star striker doing his thing.
Bet Builder Tip: Denmark to win, Over 2.5 goals, Højlund to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
