Denmark vs Sweden prediction, preview, team news and more | International Friendly 2020

Denmark are set to play hosts to Sweden at the Brondby Stadium on Thursday in an international friendly fixture.

Denmark come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over nine-man England last month in the UEFA Nations League.

A penalty from Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen in the first half was enough to secure victory for the Danes. England had Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire and Chelsea right-back Reece James sent off to compound their misery.

Sweden, on the other hand, lost 3-0 to Portugal last month in the UEFA Nations League. A brace from in-form Liverpool attacker Diogo Jota and a goal from Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva secured the win for Portugal.

Denmark vs Sweden Prediction

Denmark have a highly-talented squad, with the likes of Eriksen, Kasper Dolberg and Yussuf Poulsen in attack and Thomas Delaney and Hojbjerg in midfield. Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel provides solidity in front of goal, while centre-back Simon Kjaer has been a constant presence at AC Milan.

Sweden, on the other hand, have some talented young players as well. Kulusevski and Isak have shown good form at club level, while a centre-back pairing of Lindelof and Brentford's Pontus Jansson is a fine mixture of experience and technical ability.

Denmark are playing at home, and have talented and quality in every position. They should be able to triumph over Sweden.

Prediction: Denmark 2-0 Sweden
