World Cup Play-Off Betting Preview: Denmark vs North Macedonia

Denmark clash with North Macedonia in this World Cup play-off semi-final at Parken in Copenhagen, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Thursday 26 March.

We’re lining up North Macedonia +1.5 at Asian Handicap odds of -109. We’re expecting the Red Lynxes to be competitive against Denmark and there’s a return even if the underdogs lose by a single goal which makes the bet attractive.

A second-place finish in Group C saw Denmark book their place in this play-off semi-final, two points behind Scotland and ahead of Greece and Belarus.

Denmark, reduced to 10 men after Rasmus Kristensen’s second booking, lost 4-2 away to Scotland in their last game, conceding twice in stoppage time in the World Cup qualifier, with a draw enough to have secured top spot and World Cup qualification.

The Red and Whites managed three shots on target and enjoyed 70% possession at Hampden Park, while Rasmus Hoejlund and Patrick Dorgu each scored one goal.

North Macedonia, who finished third in Group J behind Belgium and Wales, qualified for the play-off based on their UEFA Nations League performances.

Blagoja Milevski's side were handed a heavy 7-1 defeat away to Wales in a World Cup qualifier at the Cardiff City Stadium last time out. North Macedonia had just 30% of the ball and recorded two shots on goal, while Bojan Miovski found the net.
