The two nations have faced each other four times since 2005, three of which were World Cup qualifiers and one of which was a friendly. Denmark had the upper hand in these fixtures, winning twice and drawing once, while Greece won once. The average number of goals per game was 2.25.
Denmark team overview
Denmark and Scotland are the only two teams yet to be defeated in Group C. De Rød-Hvide started their campaign in September with a goalless draw against Scotland, and maintained their clean sheet in the next two matches.
Brian Riemer’s team beat Greece 3:0 in their final match of the September international break, and then put on a five-star show with a 6:0 win over Belarus earlier this week. With only goal difference separating them from second place, victory on Sunday is crucial for the Danes and they are the favorites.
Rasmus Højlund scored twice against Belarus, taking his tally in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers to three, and the Napoli forward is expected to lead the line on Sunday.

Greece team overview
Meanwhile, Greece got off to a winning start in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign when they beat Belarus 5-1 in September.
The Sky-Blue-Whites have not won since then, losing to Denmark and Scotland. Having conceded three goals in each of their last two matches, Sunday’s game is likely to be another tough watch for Greece fans.
Head coach Ivan Jovanović is expected to make wholesale changes to the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in that game, given the result and scoreline against Scotland last time out.
Fotis Ioannidis, Giannis Konstantelias and Konstantinos Karetsas are among those who could benefit from this reshuffle.

Prediction
Denmark will bring a five-match unbeaten run into Sunday’s game, and with World Cup qualification at stake, I expect De Rød-Hvide to win. The visitors will threaten in the final third and may score, as they have done in five of their last six games, but they may end up losing 3-1.
Three reasons we expect Denmark to win this game
- Greece have lost each of their last two World Cup Qualification matches.
- Denmark won four of their last five games across all competitions.
- Greece lost each of their last two competitive meetings with Denmark.
