The playoff against the World Championship in Russia is continuing and the last of the first matches in the double meetings stands for these nations, Denmark and Ireland.
For Ireland’s part, it was the last of the favorite second place behind Serbia in the top. It could be picked thanks to a win – the only outcome that was enough – away against the main contender Wales in the final match, on the verge. If it was deserved? You may not be able to say that.
Denmark ended up in Poland in their quake game and before Montenegro, Romania, Armenia and Kazakhstan. The place was secured after the ending of the weather extremely fast and strong; won four of the last five matches. The absolute last, against that Romania, ended up untouched.
While Denmark has the whole squad intact, Ireland is suffering from a lot of breakdowns; James McCarthy, Richard Keogh, Sean Maguire, injured, David Meyler, turned off, and Jeff Henrick uncertain.
In double meetings like this, the initial match will always be more tangled than the other, as there are no results to play. Easy to get back in position.
Of course Denmark is the ones who will put the tone in the match. A good result should be resolved for the return, but I find it difficult to see them pushing up the positions far too high in the course. At least at first – safe before the insecure?
And the resistance is Ireland for – an Ireland whose main qualities are in the defense game. They are extremely stable and good at monitoring results. Whether it’s 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1, we can expect them to keep the defense wall up. Six in-game goals of ten matches in fierce competition may speak their language.
PREDICTION: Under 2,0 goals @ 2.00
