Denmark will face Northern Ireland at the Parken Stadium on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two nations. The home side have endured a difficult run of results in recent games and will be looking to turn a corner soon in preparation for their World Cup qualifying campaign which kicks off in September.
They participated in the UEFA Nations League during the last international break, facing Portugal in a two-legged quarterfinal clash. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 victory in the first leg thanks to a late winner from Rasmus Hojlund before suffering a 5-2 thrashing in the second leg in Portugal.
Northern Ireland, meanwhile, locked horns with Sweden in friendly action last time out and suffered a 5-1 thrashing, finding themselves five goals down before West Bromwich Albion man Isaac Price netted a late consolation goal to extend his scoring streak on the international stage to three games.
