Denmark vs Finland: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Denmark will be desperate to put World Cup disappointment behind them when they host Finland in a Group H encounter in Euro 2024 qualifiers. The upcoming contest will be the opening game of the qualification campaign for both the sides. This will be the first competitive game for the hosts since their disastrous group-stage exit at the FIFA World Cup late last year. It was disappointing to see Denmark bow out of Qatar at the first hurdle.

He entered the World Cup with a lot of expectations on his shoulders. After their impressive performances at Euro 2020, many expected Denmark to be the dark horse in Qatar. They also had the quality and depth of the squad. However, the Danish football team failed to live up to the expectations in the World Cup. Thursday night’s clash will be their first competitive game since the showpiece event in Qatar, so they will be keen to deliver in front of their home fans.

Finland, on the other hand, played two friendlies in January but lost both to Sweden and Estonia. Notably, the last time these two sides played each other, it was Finland who emerged victorious in the Euro 2020 group stage competition. However, that match, to be held in June 2021, will be remembered for Christian Eriksen’s collapse due to cardiac arrest during the first half. The visuals of him receiving life-saving treatment on the pitch will remain fresh in the mind of every Danish footballer. Fortunately, Eriksen made an impressive recovery and is currently part of Erik ten Haag’s revolution at Manchester United.
