Friday night sees World Cup Qualifying Group C get underway in Copenhagen as Denmark hosts Scotland in what will likely be a crucial fixture for both teams' hopes of making the Finals next summer. With just six games to be played across qualifying, starting with a victory would be a huge boost to the Danish Dynamite and the travelling Tartan Army. Let's take a closer look at our prediction for this match, which is likely to be a decisive fixture in terms of the final Group C standings.
After losing 5-3 on aggregate to Portugal in the Nations League Quarter-finals in March (1-0, 2-5), Denmark bounced back to form in their next two home matches. They defeated Northern Ireland 2-1, and then the Danes thrashed Lithuania 5-0 just a few days later back in June. Head Coach Brian Riemer will know that Scotland, along with Greece, will likely be their most formidable opposition in qualifying, so starting with a win at home against a chief rival will be viewed as a must for the Red and Whites.
Steve Clarke's Scotland began their Nations League Playoff with a 1-0 win away to Greece, but a few days later, the Greeks defeated the Scots 3-0 at Hampden Park to relegate the Scots back to League B. The home fans were further discontent when they also lost 3-1 at home to Iceland in early June, but the Tartan Army then got back to winning ways beating Liechtenstein 4-0 away in their most recent fixture.

Our Denmark vs Scotland Prediction
Our prediction for the Denmark vs. Scotland Group C World Cup Qualifier is: Denmark wins the match.
Both these teams have somewhat similar form heading into this fixture, but what is very notable is that the Scots have an extremely poor recent record against Denmark away from home. The Scots have not scored a goal in any of their last four visits to Copenhagen, losing them all. With just six games in qualification, this is an important fixture in the context of Group C, so home advantage will be key, hence we're backing the Danes to land the win.
