Denmark vs Greece Prediction for 13 October 2025 - Football

🔊 Do Greece stand a chance in Copenhagen? In the fourth round of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, Denmark will face Greece at the Parken Stadium. The Danes currently top Group C, while the Greeks are in third place, trailing second-place Scotland by four points. This match is crucial for both teams: Denmark aim to solidify their lead, while Greece need a win to keep their qualification hopes alive. Meanwhile, Scotland host Belarus, and the outcome is likely to favor the home side. Therefore, Denmark need a victory to maintain their top spot, and Greece must win to stay in contention for at least second place. Let's not forget that in the first round in Piraeus, the Greeks suffered a heavy defeat to the Scandinavians. The favorite in Copenhagen is clear. Let's move on to the prediction and examine the key arguments.

Head-to-Head

📊 Just a month ago, on September 9, the national teams faced off in Piraeus during the first round of qualifiers. On that occasion, the Greeks suffered a heavy defeat against the Danes, losing 0-3. Mikkel Damsgaard, Andreas Christensen, and Rasmus Højlund found the back of the net.

Denmark Team Overview

🔴 Brian Riemer's team recently played their previous match in Hungary, on neutral ground in the city of Zalaegerszeg, against the Belarus national team (6-0). It was a straightforward affair for the Scandinavians: they netted four goals in the first half, with Froholdt, Højlund twice, and Dorgu finding the back of the net. In the second half, substitute Anders Dreyer bagged a brace.

⚪ Currently, the Danes sit atop Group C with 7 points. Goal difference could prove decisive, as Scotland also have 7 points but trail slightly in this regard. Therefore, Riemer's players will aim to secure a convincing victory against Greece, as the Scots, likely to defeat Belarus, will also look to boost their goal difference.

Greece Team Overview

🔵 Ivan Jovanovic's team traveled to Glasgow in the last round, where they faced Scotland (1-3). The Greeks played noticeably better than the hosts and had opportunities to take the lead in the first half, but it wasn't until the 62nd minute that Kostas Tsimikas found the back of the net. Up to that point, the Scots hadn't created any significant chances, but they capitalized on set pieces: they equalized just two minutes after conceding and took the lead near the end with another free-kick delivery. The Greeks had a chance to level the score, but the opponent's goalkeeper was flawless. In stoppage time, Konstantinos Tzolakis made an error, allowing Scotland to score a third into an empty net.

⚪ As a result, Greece are in third place in their group. The trip to Denmark promises to be even more challenging than the previous one. In November, the Greeks will have a chance for revenge against Scotland, but for now, they need at least a draw in Copenhagen, ideally a win, to keep their hopes alive for securing second place.

Latest news

Denmark

🔝 It's worth highlighting the impressive form of forward Rasmus Højlund, both for his club (Napoli) and the national team. Since the start of the season, the striker has played 9 matches and accumulated 8 points (7 goals, 1 assist) in the goal and assist system.

💊 All players listed for the October matches are fit and ready for the home fixture in Copenhagen.

Greece

💊 None of the players have sustained injuries—everyone is fit and ready for the match against Denmark.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The main referee for the match is Michael Oliver. On average, the Englishman hands out around 3 yellow cards per match, based on his last 10 games. In their first head-to-head, each team received one caution. The Danes generally play carefully: in none of their three qualifying matches have they received more cards than their opponents. Meanwhile, the Greeks picked up 4 cautions against Scotland, who received 2. Given that Denmark are likely to dominate possession and initiative, we predict that Greece will receive more yellow cards.

⚽ Goal Prediction

Denmark play an attacking, combinational style of football, and all their forward players are currently in good form. This generation of Greek players also prefers a technical style, but they lack the skill level of the Scandinavians. Our pick: Denmark's individual total over 1.5 goals.

🚩 Corner Prediction

In Piraeus, both teams won 3 corners each. In their home game against Scotland, Denmark earned 14 corners, and 7 in the match against Belarus. The Greeks managed 11 corners at home against Belarus and 4 away against Scotland. Prediction: Denmark's individual total over 5.5 corners – this bet has come through in 10 of their last 11 matches.

The first-round match made it clear – the Danish class is notably higher, despite Greece's appealing squad. Riemer's team has already dropped points at home against Scotland (0-0), so now it's crucial not just to win, but to do so with a significant goal difference. Unlike Belarus, the Greeks can put up a fight and offer resistance, but their performance against the less-than-convincing Scots showed they can't sustain it for the full 90 minutes. Our prediction: Denmark to win. Likely scoreline – a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
