Preview: Denmark vs. Kazakhstan – Team news and prediction

Group H is perhaps the tightest group in this year's Euro 2024 Qualifiers, as Slovenia and Denmark have 13 points, while Finland and Kazakhstan follow closely with 12 points. Therefore, every single match played in this group is crucial for qualification to the summer's European Championship.
In tonight's match, Denmark is a strong favorite, and if they win this game, they can start to write off Kazakhstan as participants in the Euros. However, one should not underestimate them as they defeated Denmark in the first encounter with a score of 3-2. Kazakhstan can play the game freely, while there is immense pressure on Denmark as everyone expects them to win this group and be among the participating teams in the summer's Euros.

Team news: 
Alexander Bah, Victor Kristiansen, Philip Billing, and most recently Andreas Skov Olsen have all withdrawn from national team duty for Denmark this week. Rasmus Höjlund has found his scoring touch for Manchester United, and in Jonas Wind, they have one of the most dangerous attackers now, having scored 7 goals for Wolfsburg.

Kazakhstan is without major injuries, so the only decision to be made is regarding the formation. Whether to go with a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2, as was done in the victory over Northern Ireland. The most sensible choice would be a 3-5-2 to withstand the pressure coming from Denmark, as they will likely press from the start to get their fans behind them in the stands.

Denmark expected lineup:
Schmeichel; Kristensen, Christensen, Andersen, Maehle; Norgaard, Hojbjerg; Wind, Eriksen, Poulsen; Hojlund

Kazakhstan expected lineup: 
Shatskiy; Bystrov, Alip, Marochkin; Tapalov, Tagybergen, Beysebekov, Dosmagambetov; Zaynutdinov, Orazov; Samorodov

Prediction: 

Denmark is a massive favorite in this match, and they will launch an attack from the beginning. They need to demonstrate that they are a significantly better team than Kazakhstan and seek revenge from the last encounter. We believe Denmark will adopt a highly offensive approach from the start, with both Wind and Hojlund in the lineup. Therefore, we suggest betting on over 1.5 goals in the first half at odds of 2.20.
