International : National Friendlies - Denmark vs Lithuania

Denmark vs Lithuania – International Friendly Preview 🇩🇰⚽

Training Match | Odense Stadium | Monday Afternoon Kick-off

 

Red-White Momentum Rolling into Odense 🔴⚪

After a convincing 2-1 comeback against Northern Ireland on Saturday, Denmark continue their June international schedule with a low-risk warm-up fixture against struggling Lithuania. Coach Kasper Hjulmand (through assistant Reimer) has confirmed plans to go more offensive here – with two strikers set to start, including red-hot Kasper Dolberg.

 

Dolberg Returns, Hojlund Must Respond 🔥

Dolberg enjoyed a standout 2024/25 campaign at Anderlecht, scoring 18 goals in 31 league appearances, and now gets a chance to translate that form to the national team. He’ll be joined in a likely two-man attack by Rasmus Højlund, who is still chasing consistency with Denmark and will be eager to deliver, especially in front of a home crowd in Odense. Christian Eriksen, playing in his hometown, should also feature – alongside rising talents like Gustav Isaksen and Mikkel Damsgaard.

 

Lithuania’s Injury Crisis & Dismal Form 📉

Ranked 143rd in the world, Lithuania are coming off a dull 0-0 against Malta (FIFA No. 169) and haven’t won in their last 10 outings (D3, L7). Key absentees include striker Kucys, right-back Sirvys, winger Vareika, and centre-back Barauskas. With that many gaps, they’re unlikely to cope with Denmark’s attacking firepower.

 

Game Plan & Betting Angle 🎯

Denmark dominated against Northern Ireland (17 shots to 2) and should face even less resistance here. Expect them to go hard from the start to entertain the Odense crowd and build rhythm. With attacking intent confirmed and Lithuania’s weakened backline, early goals look highly likely.

 

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 goals in the first half ✅
