Greece vs Denmark prediction: Piratiko to plunder Danish Dynamite
Key stats
- Greece are unbeaten in four straight games, conceding just twice in the process.
- The Azure & White have lost two of their last three competitive games on home soil.
- Denmark have won just once in their last seven competitive fixtures.
- The Red & Whites are winless in seven consecutive matches away from home.
Correct score prediction: Greece 3-2 Denmark
Greece concluded their UEFA Nations League campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Scotland and continued their strong form with back-to-back friendly wins in June, scoring four goals against both Slovakia and Bulgaria. Under Ivan Jovanovic, the team has been impressive at both ends of the pitch, now winning 10 of their last 12 matches, including their most recent 5-1 demolition of Belarus in the opening qualifier.
Meanwhile, Brian Riemer’s Denmark approach this match after a drab goalless draw against Scotland. They will be eager to move past their 5-2 UEFA Nations League quarter-final loss to Portugal and claim their first qualifying victory in the second round, as they target a seventh World Cup appearance.
However, despite Denmark’s quality, expect a narrow but deserved triumph for the hosts, leveraging their efficiency to secure a crucial qualifier win.

Player to watch: Vangelis Pavlidis
Benfica striker Pavlidis made an instant impact in the victory against Belarus, setting up Konstantinos Karetsas with a remarkable assist in the third minute, before heading home his side’s second inside 20 minutes. He then turned provider once again after the break, squaring the ball to Christos Tzolis for Greece’s fifth strike. He could prove to be the difference-maker against Denmark.
