Denmark vs Mexico
International Friendlies
Date: Saturday, 9 June 2018
Kick-Off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Brondby Stadion, Brondby.
The Norwegian manager Age Hareide has an immense attacking talent in his ranks, but Denmark just failed to create in the final third in their most recent set of international friendlies. Danish Dynamite scored just one goal in last three matches against Panama, Chile and Sweden. Can they boost up the confidence in the final third with the result in their final pre-World Cup warm-up against CONCACAF hopefuls Mexico on Saturday?
It will by no means be an easy task for the hosts given they are about to take on an outfit which kept back-to-back clean sheets coming into this one. Overall, El Tri shipped just one goal in last six internationals meaning we could be really in for a very tight and competitive contest when these two sides lock horns at the weekend.
It was Giovanni dos Santos who made the difference for Mexico in a narrow 1-0 victory over the mixed line-up of Scotland seven days ago. The head coach Juan Carlos Osorio also has woes with his side’s attacking displays as it was the only goal El Tri scored in last three matches. They could face troubles breaking the Danish well-organized 4-2-3-1 formation with Jorgensen and Delaney as defensive midfielders (a double block ahead of four men at the back). The Under 2.5 goals FT is a genuine banker at the odds of 1.57.
Denmark head into this off the back of two consecutive goalless draws and we would not be shocked to see the third one coming right here against Mexico. Braver punters will fancy the 7.00 odds offered for the 0-0 draw.
