Ireland News and Form – Can Ireland get home win over Denmark?
This is it then for Ireland. It’s basically a winner takes all scenario. Victory will put the Irish through to Euro 2020. They have taken a W3 D3 L1 record in this campaign, their defeat happening in Switzerland. Ireland kick off in third place, two points behind Switzerland and three points behind leaders Denmark. There was a 1-1 draw between Ireland and Denmark in the first meeting, so a victory in this gives the Irish the head to head tiebreaker over them.
Ireland have been short of goals in this qualification campaign. They have tallied just six and they haven’t managed to score more than one goal in a single fixture. Ireland have done well at the back, conceding only four times, earning four clean sheets. The Irish will go to the playoffs if they don’t manage to get a top-two group finisher here. Back in the World Cup 2018 qualifying play-offs, Ireland lost 5-1 at home in the second leg of the tie against Denmark.
They also met in last year’s Nations League with both games ended in 0-0 draws. Ireland have taken one defeat only in their last nine fixtures (competitive and friendly) and they warmed up for this one with a 3-1 home friendly win over New Zealand on Thursday. The Irish are unbeaten in their last 13 European Championship home qualifiers, winning eight of those. They are W5 D1 in their last six. They conceded one goal in those six games.

Denmark News and Form – Can Denmark win in Dublin?
The Danes only have to pick up a point in this fixture which is going to make them hard to beat on the night. They have had a very strong campaign, remaining unbeaten in their seven fixtures in Group D. That is what Ireland are up against on the night. Denmark have netted 22 goals from their seven games, shipping only five. Away from home in the group, they took a draw Switzerland and Georgia, winning in Gibraltar.
So the fact that the Danes couldn’t win away against either the Swiss or the Georgians should give Ireland some hope here. Denmark’s Christian Eriksen is the top scorer in the group with a tally of five goals. In their last fourteen away games, both competitive and friendly, they have remained undefeated. They have not conceded in any of their last five road games. Denmark however, have won only one of their last six European Championship away qualifiers.
