Denmark vs FYR Macedonia Prediction (26.03.2026)

Denmark played strong matches during the qualifiers. However, something happened in their last two matches that cost the team direct qualification. Generally, they perform well at home, but they only managed a 2:2 draw against Belarus in their last home game. This was followed by an away loss to Scotland. The last five matches of Denmark had over 2.5 goals. Now, there are quite a few absences in defense. Starting goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is injured. Patrick Dorgu, Andreas Christensen, Yannick Vestergaard, Rasmus Christensen are also on the injury list, while Joachim Andersen is suspended. Nevertheless, coach Brian Riemer stated that this is not an excuse and that he has enough other great players available.

North Macedonia should not be underestimated and dreams of debuting in the World Cup finals. Recently, however, they have only managed to win against weaker teams, such as Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein. They have not won in their last four matches. After three consecutive draws, they suffered an unexpectedly heavy defeat of 1:7 in their away match against Wales. In 2022, they failed to qualify for the World Cup, but they caused an upset in one of the playoffs back then by defeating Italy, so this may give the guests some reasons for optimism now, as no absences from the squad are expected.

Still, I expect Denmark to win, but I do not rule out goals considering the absences in defense for the hosts, as well as the heavy defeat the guests suffered in their last match.
