Denmark and Serbia are set to face each other this Tuesday at Parken Stadium in preparations fixture for the 2022 World Cup. Kickoff schedules for 19:00 EAT.
After enjoying six consecutive victories across competitive and friendly contests, Denmark were brought down to earth in their final World Cup qualifiers. Denmark is enjoying a good spell of form of late at home; they are now following a streak of four consecutive victories. In their last 10 home fixtures they have won eight times by scoring goals at a good rate. They have recorded two subsequent defeats in their recent fixtures however away from home and one of those was against Netherlands.
Denmark suffered 4-2 International Friendlies loss to Netherlands in their previous game. In that match, Netherlands had 55% possession, 17 shots with 10 of them on target and goals scored by Steven Bergwijn (16’, 71’), Nathan Ake (29’) and Mephis Depay (37’P). Denmark got six shots with three of them on target and Jannik Vestergaard 20’ and Christian Eriksen 47’.
Serbia is ranked 25th in the FIFA rankings, in their qualifying campaign Serbia accumulated 20 points from their eight qualifying games, which ultimately enabled them to finish three points clear of Portugal, who were heavily favoured to top the group. The visitors are unbeaten in each of their last eight fixtures across all competitions and we expect them to deliver a competitive display on the back of their recent spell of form.
Serbia come into this meeting off the back of 0-1 International Friendlies win over Hungary in their most recent fixture. In that match, a first half own goal from Zsolt Nagy decided the friendly contest with Hungary, but Stojkovic will recognise that Tuesday’s meeting with Denmark represents a great test in the build-up to Qatar.
