The top four teams in Group H are separated by just one point – as are Denmark and Kazakhstan – and this could be one of the most crucial matches remaining of their respective campaigns.

When the qualifying draw was made, Denmark would have felt that they had been handed one of the more favourable selections with no European giant present in Group H.

However, they are making hard work of finishing in the top two, only drawing 1-1 in Slovenia after they had already lost 3-2 in the reverse fixture with Kazakhstan.

The latter result is one of the standout scorelins of the entire campaign, with Kazakhstan coming from 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go to post one of the greatest victories in their history.

Denmark have since put together a four-game unbeaten run, yet their 1-0 wins over Northern Ireland and Finland came with a close VAR call in their favour and a late winner in the latter from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

That goal from the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder moved Denmark one point ahead of Finland and into second place, but they remain off top spot due to Slovenia having scored one goal more than them across their six games.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan are looking to qualify for a major tournament for the first time ever, helped by already having a playoff spot in the bag through their performance in the UEFA Nations League.

As it stands, 12 points have been collected from six matches, including the aforementioned win over Denmark in March, and four victories have been posted in five games.

Although they secured a 1-0 victory at home to Northern Ireland last time out, Magomed Adiyev will be ruing the 1-0 defeat to Finland that preceded that encounter.

Apart from a home game with underdogs San Marino, Kazakhstan face each of their direct rivals away from home, yet they may relish that challenge, aware of the possible rewards if they can collect a minimum of four points from the triple-header in Denmark, Finland and Slovenia.

With Andreas Skov Olsen a late withdrawal through injury, Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand will have to make a change on the right flank, potentially introducing Robert Skov in his place.

Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund is back to full fitness and is pushing to replace Jonas Wind down the centre of the attack.

Adiyev may make just one change to his Kazakhstan starting lineup if he sticks with the 3-4-2-1 formation from the Northern Ireland match.

The more defensive-minded Timur Dosmagambetov could be used at left wing-back ahead of Yan Vorogovsky, although Abat Aymbetov is an option in the final third.
