Not exactly a clash of champions that will echo down the ages. At full time though, the result of this Saturday night Group D clash being played at the Telia Parken in Copenhagenwill give us a clearer picture of who will qualify for Euro 2020. In the other crucial match in the group, Ireland will have played Georgia away earlier in the day and regardless of the result there both of these teams need the three points here to catch the Irish who lead the group.

Denmark vs Switzerland Betting Tips and Predictions: Denmark

On paper the Danes’ results look quite good, they’ve not lost a match since September 2018, a run of 11 matches unbeaten, however, five of those have been draws; drawing twice with Ireland in their Group D matches and somehow couldn’t get a goal past Giorgi Loria in the Georgian goal despite having 12 shots on him and the vast majority of possession.

Those stats count for nothing though when you don’t score goals and here against Switzerland the Danes need to come out all guns blazing in an effort to take on three points on offer. There’s plenty of goals in the team too, they’ve scored the highest amount in the group, 15, and have a pretty stingy defence, only conceding five, three of which came in the reverse fixture, a 3-3 draw played in Basel in March.

In team new the Danes will be without Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen. He’ll be missed too, the Feyenoord striker has nine goals in 37 appearances. Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen is by far their main threat though, he has 19 goals in 91 appearances, they’ll be hoping his Spurs form won’t appear in a red shirt.

Denmark vs Switzerland Betting Tips and Predictions: Switzerland

Switzerland’s form has been up and down lately, around this time last year they made a show of Belgium, beating them 5-2 in Luzern, largely thanks to a hattrick from Benfica’s Haris Seferovic. Since then they’ve lost to Portugal and England (on penalties) in the Nations League finals, beaten Georgia (0-2) and Gibraltar (4-0) and drew with both Ireland (1-1) and the reverse fixture with the Danes, 3-3.

They’re a strange team in that when it clicks then can beat just about anyone on their day, it just doesn’t always work out for them. Saying that though they know that coming into this game they need to bring home the three points. Should they win here they’ll jump ahead of Denmark and will at least occupy second place. Should Georgia beat Ireland, they could jump into first.

In team news Xherdan Shaqiri is still unavailable, officially he’s concentrating on his Liverpool career (from the bench) however, really he’s sulking that Granit Xhaka was made captain instead of him. Midfielder Steven Zuber and defender Timm Klose are also going to miss the match. The aforementioned Haris Seferovic is the dangerman here, he has 17 goals in his 62 appearances.

The Asian Handicap line opened at 0.25 and there’s been a bit of movement. The hosts were at 2.01 when it opened, they’ve dropped to 1.96 now, while the away side opened at 1.83 and the price has drifted to 1.96.

The goal line opened at 2.25, Over 2.25 has drifted from 1.98 to 2.07. There’s only been five previous meetings between the side, both teams have won one apiece, three have ended in draws. There’s very little between these sides but both need the win, they’re both in good goalscoring form too and they’ll need all their firepower here, so we’re going to go against the market and going for Over 2.25 goals at 2.07.
