World Cup: Denmark to qualify with win over Austria

Denmark hosts Austria on Tuesday in the 2022 World Cup qualifying match sitting on top of Group F with 21 points while the Austria are in 4th place with 10 points.

Denmark are coming on the heel of a massive 4-0 win over Moldova away.

That result means Denmark have won each of their last 4 matches, all of which have come in World Cup qualifying. They have lost just one of their last 8 games in all competitions and that was an extra-time loss to England at the Euros.

There are no losses for Denmark in 40 of their most recent 44 games in all competitions and that underlines how difficult they are to beat. Denmark are unbeaten in their last 16 World Cup qualifying fixtures and that includes each of their last 7 at home.

Trends show Denmark have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 4 home World cup qualifying matches.

Austria travel to the Danish capital knowing they need to get something from the game to keep their hopes of finishing second alive.

They picked up maximum points in a 2-0 victory away to the Faroe Islands in a game they were expected to win with ease. Austria opened the scoring in the 26th minute and doubled their advantage shortly after half time.

However, that was the first win in 3 games for Austria following defeats in Israel and at home against Scotland. The heavy 5-2 loss in Israel was a poor performance and having conceded a penalty at home against Scotland in the 30th minute, Austria could not get back into the game.

Trends show Austria have lost only one of their last 5 away World Cup qualifying matches. They recorded 3 wins in those 4 games but they came against Moldova and the Faroe Islands.

Austria have been struggling in Group F and this could be another defeat. Denmark have looked strong throughout the campaign and we expect them to win this game.
