The Matchday 6 clash of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers between Greece and Denmark will take place on September 8 at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. Greece vs. Denmark: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Greece
In their previous match, Ivan Jovanovic's side left no chance for Belarus at home (5-1). As a result, Greece secured their first win in four World Cup Qualifying matches (1 draw, 2 losses). However, the team failed to keep a clean sheet for the eighth time in their last nine Euro Qualifiers. With three points, Greece leads the group standings.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 6 of their last 7 home matches in World Cup Qualifiers (3 wins, 3 draws).
- Both teams scored in 4 of Greece's last 5 home Euro Qualifiers.
- Greece conceded exactly one goal in regular time in their last five home World Cup Qualifiers.
Predicted lineup for Greece (4-5-1)
Kostas Tzolakis – Georgios Vagiannidis, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Kostas Koulierakis, Kostas Tsimikas – Christos Zafeiris, Dimitrios Kourbelis, Christos Tzolis, Anastasios Bakasetas, Konstantinos Karetsas – Evangelos Pavlidis.
Denmark
Brian Riemer's side drew 0-0 with Scotland at home in their last outing. Consequently, Denmark failed to win for the second consecutive World Cup Qualifier, though they previously enjoyed a 10-match winning streak in Euro Qualifiers. Notably, Denmark kept a clean sheet in 9 of their last 11 World Cup Qualifiers. In the standings, the team has one point, sharing second and third places with Scotland.
- Denmark won in regular time in 8 of their last 9 away World Cup Qualifiers.
- The Danes scored at least twice in 6 of their last 9 away Euro Qualifiers.
- The team did not concede in regular time in 5 of their last 7 away World Cup Qualifiers.

Greece vs. Denmark: Match Prediction
At home, Greece feels confident and focuses on creativity, allowing the team to score regularly. In their last 15 home World Cup Qualifiers, Greece only failed to score three times, and in two of those instances, they faced strong opponents like Spain and Croatia. However, Greece conceded in their last five home World Cup Qualifiers.
Denmark did not shine in attack in their first match of the current Qualifying campaign, but generally, this team rarely struggles to break down opponents' defenses. Even away, Denmark scores frequently: only once in their last nine away World Cup Qualifiers did they fail to score, and in six of those matches, they scored at least twice.
An exchange of goals is expected in this match, and my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
