Denmark - North Macedonia: Form Analysis
Denmark seemed to be coasting to the 2026 World Cup until their late collapse happened. They lost 4-2 to Scotland to wrap up their qualifying engagements, but here they have a second chance. Heading into this game, Denmark have only lost twice in the last 10 matches, winning six.
The Danes have been to the last two World Cup finals, and apart from qualifying, they will also look to better their group stage exit at Qatar 2022. To get their 2022 ticket, Denmark still used this same route, beating Ireland in the two legs. This match comes 13 years after these two nations’ last meeting. That was in a friendly match, which Macedonia won 3-0.
The winner here will face the Czech Republic or Denmark in the qualifying round final.
North Macedonia suffered a heavy loss as they wrapped up group stage engagements. They fell 7-1 to Wales, leaving them winless in four matches. In two of the four matches they failed to score and have managed just three wins across 10 games.
The visitors have done a bit better away from home, winning four of 10 games. However, they come here winless in three straight away matches, one being a friendly encounter against Saudi Arabia. This match will be the first for Goce Sedloski, a tough baptism as he looks to win the fans. In 2022, North Macedonia beat Italy in the playoffs before falling to Portugal in the final.

Denmark & North Macedonia Squad Analysis
Two Napoli players will be on show here, seeking to flex their attacking muscles to give their nations the advantage. On the Danes’ side will be Rasmus Hojlund, who is having a good season in Italy. The forward has scored 10 league goals, making this his best scoring campaign.
He was also impressive in the qualifying campaign, netting five times in as many matches. West Ham United keeper Mads Hermansen will finally get his chance as Kasper Schmeichel is out injured. The skipper’s injury extends the Danes’ defensive woes, with Patrick Dorgu, Andreas Christensen, and Jannik Vestergaard all injured.
Danish defender Joachim Andersen is suspended, worsening Denmark’s defensive headache.
North Macedonia will go into this game generally in good health, as only Egzijan Alioski is injured, though he is not yet a confirmed absentee. The Lugano defender has been out of his club’s last four matches but could make an appearance in the matchday squad.
Macedonia’s only player out of this game is Tihomir Kostadinov, who is suspended.

Our Denmark vs North Macedonia Prediction
These two nations find themselves here as a result of late capitulation in the group stage qualifying round. Both will be looking to recover, seeking to progress in the qualifiers. In their recent runs, however, it will be tough to pick out an outright winner.
Denmark are winless in the last two outings and failed to win twice in three home games. Their long list of absent players makes things more complicated, and the visitors will want to take advantage. North Macedonia aren’t in better shape though. Our prediction for Denmark v North Macedonia is for a draw.
