Friday night sees World Cup Qualifying Group C get underway in Copenhagen as Denmark hosts Scotland in what will likely be a crucial fixture for both teams' hopes of making the Finals next summer. With just six games to be played across qualifying, starting with a victory would be a huge boost to the Danish Dynamite and the travelling Tartan Army. Let's take a closer look at our prediction for this match, which is likely to be a decisive fixture in terms of the final Group C standings.

After losing 5-3 on aggregate to Portugal in the Nations League Quarter-finals in March (1-0, 2-5), Denmark bounced back to form in their next two home matches. They defeated Northern Ireland 2-1, and then the Danes thrashed Lithuania 5-0 just a few days later back in June. Head Coach Brian Riemer will know that Scotland, along with Greece, will likely be their most formidable opposition in qualifying, so starting with a win at home against a chief rival will be viewed as a must for the Red and Whites.

Steve Clarke's Scotland began their Nations League Playoff with a 1-0 win away to Greece, but a few days later, the Greeks defeated the Scots 3-0 at Hampden Park to relegate the Scots back to League B. The home fans were further discontent when they also lost 3-1 at home to Iceland in early June, but the Tartan Army then got back to winning ways beating Liechtenstein 4-0 away in their most recent fixture.
