EUROPE:
World Cup – Qualifiers
Match
start: 20:45 (GMT+2)
The
central match of the 7th
round of European group E is the match between Denmark and Poland in
Copenhagen. It is obvious that here we see the analogy with the
battle between Bulgaria and Sweden in Sofia.
In
Sofia and Copenhagen the guest is one and the same – the leader of
this quartet. And the hosts are presented in both cases by one
catching up team. Let us recollect the tournament position of group E
leaders:
Poland
– 16, Montenegro – 10, Denmark – 10…
Poland
(the head coach Adam Nawałka)
To
tell the truth, there is one difference between the leaders of two
groups in the mentioned above correlation. Now the first place of Tre
Kronor is only hypothetical as the same number of points has the
national team of France. But the advantage of Poland over two main
challengers is now 6 points.
And
this means that with luck the team of Adam Nawałka headed by Robert
Lewandowski, Jakub Błaszczykowski and Kamil Grosicki can soon become
one of the first finalists of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018.
Denmark
(the head coach Åge Hareide)
Two
years ago the era of reigning (15 years) of Morten Olsen as the coach
of the national team of Denmark has come to its end and the team now
is headed by the famous specialist from Norway Åge Hareide.
This
fact didn’t bring any significant progress in the game of the red
and whites. And now Simon Kjær, William Kvist, Christian Eriksen and
their partners are walking on thin ice for the third time in a row
after FIFA World Cup Brasil 2014 and French EURO 2016 and can miss
also FIFA World Cup Russia 2018.
Match
prediction
The
red and whites need only victory during the forthcoming meeting at
their famous Parken. Otherwise the team of Åge Hareide can give the
way to the national team of Montenegro.
But
the leader of the group E here will be pleased with the goalless
draw. In this case the 6 points distance between two national teams
will remain to be unchangeable prior to the 3 rounds before the end
of qualifiers. And this means that one of the two challengers of the
leader will be eliminated. So W1 or X2?
Denmark
– 2.40, draw – 3.40, Poland –2.90;
