Denmark vs Moldova prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

Denmark will be looking to build on their promising start to the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they host Moldova on Sunday at the MCH Arena in Herning.

The Nordic outfit beat Israel 2-0 in their opening game on Thursday night. Goals from Martin Braithwaite and Jonas Wind secured all three points for Kasper Hjulmand's side.

The victory kept them at the top of Group F after the first round of games as everyone else dropped points.

Having made it to the last 16 of the 2018 showpiece in Russia, Denmark are aiming to qualify for the World Cup after being handed a relatively easy draw.

Up next, they're against the lowest-ranked side in the group, though Moldova stunningly earned a point in their first qualifying game.

They played out a 1-1 draw at home with the Faroe Islands, who left it late to equalize. Eastern European minnows Moldova came close to securing an unlikely victory.

Languishing in 177th position in FIFA's world rankings, Moldova have traditionally finished last or second-last in their group in all major qualifiers. The only exception was the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
