Scotland need a home win after loss to Greece.
Denmark remain unbeaten; a draw suffices.
Both sides aim for automatic World Cup qualification.

Scotland vs Denmark

It is second against first in Group C of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers as Scotland host Denmark on Tuesday.

Already guaranteed a top-two finish, both sides are still in contention for an automatic ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Both teams are fired up for this one and are expected to serve up goals.

Scotland News

Scotland are coming off their first loss in the qualifiers as they suffered a 3-2 away defeat to Greece on Saturday. They attempted a fightback after going three goals down, with Ben Doak and Ryan Christie on target, but fell short of completing the turnaround.

That result leaves Scotland second in the table, one point off the pace and needing a home win on Tuesday to earn a place in the World Cup. The good news is that Steve Clarke's team had won their previous three matches, two of which were at home.

Scotland have shown attacking quality in the qualifiers, scoring in their last four matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of those fixtures, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Denmark News

Denmark travel to Hampden Park off the back of a 2-2 home draw with Belarus in their previous fixture. Mikel Damsgaard’s early effort was cancelled out by the visitors and they needed a late equaliser from Gustav Isaksen to salvage a point.

Manager Brian Riemer will be disappointed not to have won, but the result maintains Denmark’s unbeaten record in Group C. The Danes only have to avoid defeat on Tuesday and the good news is that they have won their last two away matches.

Denmark have no problems going forward and have scored first in their last four matches, which have produced over 2.5 goals. However, they are without a clean sheet in the last two fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

Scotland have eight wins while Denmark have been victorious five times, with one draw from 14 previous matches. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Scotland v Denmark

There is much at stake in Tuesday's clash, with a win for Scotland securing the World Cup ticket while Denmark simply have to avoid defeat. Both teams are expected to be up for this one, and with neither defence looking solid lately, they could be backed to score.

Denmark have a knack for scoring first and having grabbed the opening goal in their last four matches, that trend is likely to continue. With Scotland’s last three matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be on the cards.
