Greece vs Denmark: prediction & betting odds 8 September 2025

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.

Predicted lineup for Denmark (4-3-3)

Kasper Schmeichel – Rasmus Kristensen, Joachim Andersen, Andreas Christensen, Joakim Maehle – Mikkel Damsgaard, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Morten Hjulmand – Anders Dreyer, Kasper Dolberg, Mika Biereth.

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

Betting tips 8 September 2025

The hosts launched their campaign in style by thrashing Belarus (5:1), while the visitors were held to a goalless draw by Scotland. For both sides this serves as an early examination for leadership in the group.

Greece have made a confident start to qualifying. They led 4:0 by half-time against Belarus and they closed it out 5:1. Greece have four wins in their last five matches, which indicates good form. The squad has not appeared at the FIFA World Cup since 2014, yet the current group shows promise. At home Greece are traditionally strong, especially in fixtures against second-tier sides. The head-to-head with Denmark has been difficult, with eight defeats in 15 meetings and only three wins. The most recent meeting dates back to 2009 (1:1).

Denmark have looked to reboot the set-up after a group-stage elimination at the FIFA World Cup 2022 and an inconsistent UEFA European Championship 2024. In the opening round they drew 0:0 with Scotland in a tight contest. In 2025 Denmark posted wins over Northern Ireland and Lithuania, yet they also suffered a heavy UEFA Nations League defeat to Portugal (2:5). Away from home Denmark tend to be more cautious and they often try to control the tempo. Their last competitive win over Greece came in 2005, a 1:0 success in FIFA World Cup 2006 qualifying.

Greece’s recent form impresses, but the opposition operate at a higher level. Denmark can limit space and make it a battle even on their travels. Given that the head-to-head tends to be tight, a high-scoring game looks unlikely.
