Denmark vs Finland Prediction
Denmark will be without Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen during the international break. The 31-year-old is still recovering from an injury, and his country will have to do without his creative qualities in midfield. Eriksen has been one of the players for Manchester United this season.
However, Denmark don't lack quality. The likes of Joakim Maehle, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Andreas Christensen and Christian Norgaard are all top footballers and have proved to be pivotal at club level this season.
Focus will also be on Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old has emerged as one of the best young footballers in Serie A this season, and it has been reported that Manchester United, Real Madrid and Arsenal are among the clubs circling.
Finland, on the other hand, have done well in recent years, producing some impressive results.
Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki has been an everpresent for both club and country for some time now. The 32-year-old is now slowing down, though, and Finland need to start planning for a future without Pukki.
Players like Glen Kamara and Lukas Hradecky, who have been around for some time, will also be relied upon for their experience and overall quality.
Denmark to win here.
Prediction: Denmark 2-0 Finland
