Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Denmark vs. Belarus at World Cup Qualifiers
The Danes are in fierce battle with Scotland for the place that leads directly to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Both teams have 10 points each, though the Scots managed to stay unbeaten in Copenhagen, which gives them the edge ahead of their clash in Glasgow. This is why the Danes must defeat sorry Belarus, which sits last in the standings, having earned not a single point after four matches.

Denmark
This unit tops the standings due to a better goal difference than Scotland, having scored 12 goals and conceded only one in 4 matches so far. However, they have yet to visit the Scots, and that’s why Brian Riemer’s boys don’t have any room for error here.
The defensive performances of the Danish crew have been good lately. Currently, they have two clean sheets over the previous three encounters. Following a win over Lithuania in the friendly game, 5-0, they had a goalless tie vs. Scotland and then beat Greece 3-1 in Copenhagen.
Overall, Denmark recorded just one loss in the previous 10 games across all competitions. It was a 1-2 loss against Spain in the UEFA Nations League. Following that, the Danes had four wins and one tie, beating Portugal among other teams.
Belarus
This team doesn’t play its games at home due to the war in Ukraine and all other political factors. Belarus is already a below-average unit in terms of quality, and the absence of home support has a significant impact on their performances, so it’s no wonder to see them lose all four World Cup qualifying games so far.
All but one of these games had over 2.5 goals, and each time, Belarus allowed two or more goals. Their defense is terrible against almost every decent team, and their previous victory against a European team came in September 2024 against Luxembourg, 0-1.
Unlike before, when this nation had solid players and even some top-level names, such as Alexander Hleb, it is now mainly composed of players from the domestic league and some international players, with an overall limited quality.
Denmark: Schmeichel; Christensen, Andersen, Vestergaard; Maehle, Norgaard, Hjulmand, Dorgu; Dreyer, Damsgaard; Hojlund
Belarus: Pavlyuchenko; Malkevich, Parkhomenko, Zabelin, Begunov, Pyachenin; Yablonsky, Korzun, Ebong; Melnichenko, Lisakovich
The Danes trashed Belarus in the first leg, which was played on a neutral location (Hungary). The result was 0-6 in favor of Denmark.
Prior to that, the two nations met in 1999, with a 0-0 tie in Belarus and Denmark’s 1-0 win at home.
The Danes are confident at home, and Belarus is, overall, a very weak team. Therefore, our pick here is for the hosts to win by at least a three-goal margin.
Our verdict: Denmark -2.5
