Denmark vs Ireland: Predictions
A strong run in the second half of the campaign saw Denmark clinch the second spot in qualification group comfortably ahead of Montenegro and Romania. Starting with 2 defeats within the first three games, the Danes finished the campaign on a 7 match unbeaten that saw 5 wins and 2 draws. The pick of the results is unarguably the 4-0 demolition of Poland at home turf.
Ireland needed a win on final group game at Wales and a solitary goal from James McClean was enough to send the team to second in the group behind Sebia. It was nothing less than what they deserved after proving to be one of the toughest teams to beat in the competitions. Ireland lost just during their 10 games in the campaign, raked up 5 wins and 4 draws.
Danish head-coach Age Hareide and Ireland boss Martin O’Neil were team-mates with Manchester City and Norwich City.

Team News
Denmark
Thomas Delaney may get the nod ahead of Lasse Schone in the middle of the park.
Åge Hareide has ample centre-back options, but could continue with Simon Kjaer and Andreas Christensen, who started the 1-1 draw with Romania.
All in all, Hareide isn’t expected to make wholesale changes to his strongest XI.
Ireland
Martin O’Neill is without David Meyler for the first leg meeting with Denmark, with the Hull City man suspended. Glenn Whelan should anchor the midfield as a result.
Jeff Hendrick is a doubt, which should see Conor Hourihane start in the middle of the park.
James McCarthy, Richard Keogh and Sean Maguire have all pulled out of the squad through injury.
