Denmark vs Scotland Prediction Betting Tips & Preview

Date: 05/09/25
Kick-off time: 19:45
Venue: Parken Stadium, Copenhagen

Denmark welcome Scotland to Copenhagen on Friday night and both sides will be buzzing after big friendly wins, but now it’s the real deal. Denmark hammered Lithuania 5-0 last time out, while Scotland cruised past Liechtenstein 4-0. So, who’s got the edge when the stakes are higher? Let’s break it down.

Denmark vs Scotland Team News

Denmark have a stacked squad and, for once, not too many injury worries. Christian Eriksen is fit and still at the heart of everything they do. Rasmus Højlund has been in strong form for Manchester United, and he’s expected to lead the line. Kasper Dolberg, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Andreas Skov Olsen are all available, giving Brian Riemer loads of attacking options. At the back, Andreas Christensen and Joachim Andersen should anchor the defence, with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg marshalling midfield.

Scotland, meanwhile, are sweating on a few players. Lyndon Dykes is out long-term, while Ryan Jack is a major doubt with a calf problem. Andrew Robertson and Kieran Tierney are fit, which is a huge boost, and Ché Adams will spearhead the attack after his hat-trick against Liechtenstein. Steve Clarke might also turn to Scott McTominay, who’s been a regular goal threat from midfield.

Likely Lineups

Denmark: Schmeichel; Kristensen, Andersen, Christensen, Mæhle; Højbjerg, Eriksen, O’Riley; Skov Olsen, Højlund, Dolberg

Scotland: Gunn; Hickey, Hanley, Porteous, Robertson; McGregor, McTominay, Gilmour; McGinn, Hirst, Adams

Denmark vs Scotland Betting Tips

This is going to be tight, but Denmark look strong at home. They’ve won three of their last four, and they usually turn up in Copenhagen. Scotland are improving, but their away record in big qualifiers isn’t great.

• Denmark to win & over 2.5 goals – The Danes score freely at home, and they’ve got plenty of weapons.
• Both teams to score – yes – Scotland have netted in five of their last six.
• Rasmus Højlund anytime scorer – He thrives in these fixtures and loves the big stage.

Denmark vs Scotland Match Prediction

So, how does this play out? Denmark are going to dominate possession, push Scotland back, and create chances through Eriksen’s passing. Scotland will try to frustrate, sit deep, and then spring Ché Adams on the counter. They’ll probably get a chance or two, but over 90 minutes, Denmark’s firepower should prove too much.
