Denmark vs Romania
Competition – World Cup Qualifying
Stadium – Parkstadion
Date: 8th October 2017
Kick-off time – 17:00 GMT
After missing the last two major tournaments, Denmark have done very well to get themselves back into reckoning for next summer’s World Cup in Russia with 4 wins from their last 4 games helping them close in on the ticket.
A win in this game would see them qualify for at least the playoffs and with their visitors enduring a miserable campaign they look likely to get that win.
Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen has been the star man of this campaign as he has netted 7 goals from his last 9 internationals with 3 coming this season. He will be looking to continue that run against the Romanians in this game.
Romania’s form post Euro 2016 has been terrible – they have struggled when everyone expected them to challenge for at least the second position, a fourth place finish looks like the best they can get now.
They have taken just 2 points from their last 5 games and lost by at least 3 goals in each of their matches against group leaders Poland.
They will be playing to avoid another high scoring loss against this Danish team that has already scored 12 times in their last 4 games.
