Looking to maintain their 100% record in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Denmark take on Scotland at the Parken Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts head into the game off the back of an impressive Euro 2020 campaign and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Denmark thrilled fans worldwide as they got to the semi-finals of the European Championship, where they lost 2-1 against England in extra-time.
That was in keeping with their excellent run in the World Cup qualifiers, where they maintained a 100% record.
Kasper Hjulmand’s men have picked up three wins from their opening three games, including an 8-0 thrashing of Moldova.
Denmark currently sit at the top of Group F with nine points, four points above Scotland in second.
Meanwhile, Scotland head into Wednesday’s game following a poor run in the European Championships.
They suffered a group-stage exit from the competition after picking up one point and scoring one goal in three games.
They will look to bounce back from that performance as they return to the World Cup qualifiers, where they have picked up five points from nine games.
After playing out draws in their opening two games, Steve Clarke’s side picked up their first win of the qualifiers when they beat the Faroe Islands 4-0 on 31 March.
Scotland are currently on a three-game winless streak and will look to end this poor form and strengthen their position in the table.
Denmark vs Scotland Head-To-Head
This will be the 17th meeting between the two sides. Scotland have been the superior team, claiming 10 wins from their previous 16 meetings. Scotland have picked up six wins.
