The world was in shock after what happened in Denmark’s opening match, where they eventually lost by 1-0 to minnows Finland. It was a terrible day for them but the good news is that Eriksen is OK, but he is not going to play in this tournament anymore.
Denmark must now overcome whatever happened in that day when they will host powerhouse Belgium on Thursday.
Belgium are coming off a solid win over Russia and another win here would see them through to the next round.
Denmark
Everyone froze to death when Eriksen collapsed at the 43rd minute of their match against Denmark. It was a traumatic experience for everyone who watched it, but the good news is that Eriksen evaded the danger.
But Denmark decided (some say were forced) to continue that match, and the result was a 1-0 loss to Finland.
Of course, who can play soccer after witnessing their teammate collapse with no pulse? Even so, they did get a chance to pull even in that match, but Hojbjerg missed on the penalty kick. Denmark were the total bosses of that match, as they dominated pretty much every statistical category.
They are now left at the bottom of the group, as Belgium, Russia and Finland all have 3 points. A Denmark win here would literally set this group on fire, but they have to do so without their best player (and captain), Eriksen. It’s unclear if his injury will have affected the team in a negative or in a positive way though.
Belgium
Belgium did a really good job in the opener against Russia, beating them by an easy 3-0. Lukaku took an early lead at the 10th minute (and of course dedicated his goal to teammate Eriksen), while Meunier doubled their lead at the 34th minute.
Lukaku scored a second goal at the 88th minute for the final 3-0.
Belgium only needed 4 shots on target to score 3 goals, but the outcome would be much differed in everyone weren’t shocked by what happened to Eriksen a few hours prior. Belgium also allowed just 1 shot on target to the Russians, and had 62% of the ball possession.
Belgium know that another win here would see them through to the next round, possibly as top seed of their group. Even a draw would be an OK result, as they would still remain at the top. On a negative note, starting Wing back Castagne suffered a face injury and is sidelined.
Denmark vs. Belgium Prediction:
After Russia’s 0-1 win over Finland in the second match, the group has 3 teams with 3 points each, and Denmark with 0 points. Denmark play against Russia in the final match, while Belgium will have a theoretically easy job against Finland.
Denmark quickly run out of hopes, but they still have a few left. But they must beat Belgium, otherwise it’s going to be a really hard task for them to qualify. A loss here would destroy their chances, while a draw would require they beat Russia in the final match.
Backing Belgium at plus money is surely a good opportunity here, but Denmark will fight tooth and nail. If you like Denmark you can take Denmark with +0.5 which is also a solid bet, but I will suggest the Over 2.25 Goals here.
