Poland vs Denmark 8/10 – World Cup Qualify
Poland Need Win After Kazakhstan Draw
COMPETITION: 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying
GAME: Poland vs Denmark
LOCATION: National Stadium
DATE: Saturday 08/10
TIME: 20:45
The teams have met on 18 previous occasions, with Denmark winning 10 times, Poland winning 8 times and 1 draw.
Poland started their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign with a disappointing 2-2 draw at Kazakhstan in Group E. Having taken control of the game in the first half, scoring 2 goals without reply, Poland were expected to see out the match and claim maximum points. However, within 13 minutes of the re-start, Kazakhstan had drawn themselves level, with a couple of quick goals, meaning the Poles had to settle for a point.
There was no such drama for Denmark in their opening match of the group, as they defeated Armenia 1-0 at home. A single goal, in the 17th minute was enough for the Danes to win the match and see them climb to the top of the group, after one game played.
Tips
We have looked closely at the following aspects of this match, which offer good betting value:
- Winner
- Both Teams to Score
- First Goalscorer
Poland Strong at Home
Poland need to get their qualifying campaign back on track, following the draw in Kazakhstan and will be delighted to be playing at home, where they have won 5 and drawn 2 of their last 7 competitive matches, including a 2-0 win over Germany. Denmark have failed to win their last 3 away games and that run may continue.
Game Tip: Poland at Win is 2 at Ladbrokes
Danes Struggling for Goals
Denmark have been struggling to find the back of the net in recent away matches and only managed to find the back of the net once against Armenia, in their first game of this group. In the last 3 away matches, Denmark have scored 1 goal and may find it difficult to put Poland on the backfoot away from home.
Game Tip: Both Teams to Score – No is 1.82 at 888sport
Poland Strong Up-front
Poland have a strong looking attack, with Robert Lewandowski leading the line. However, the Bayern Munich man has been struggling for goals at his club and has failed to score in his last 4 games. The chance to play for Poland may come as a welcome break from club football and give Lewandowski the chance to get back among the goals, having scored in his last 2 appearances for Poland.
Game Tip: Robert Lewandowski to Score First is 4.6 at Unibet
