The sides last met in a 2009 friendly, which ended 1-1. Their most recent World Cup qualifying encounter was back in 2005, when Greece won 2-1 at home while Denmark edged the reverse fixture 1-0.
Greece team overview
Greece approach their first home fixture of the qualification campaign in excellent spirits. Ivan Jovanović’s team thrashed Belarus 5-1, firing 30 shots, creating seven big chances, and posting an xG of 4.13. Under Jovanović, Greece have embraced a possession-based, attack-minded philosophy blending youth and experience - a style fully evident against Belarus.
The attacking quartet of Pavlidis, Tzolis, Karetsas, and Bakasetas was electric, and Denmark will need to be wary of their threat on Monday.

Denmark team overview
Denmark faced sterner opposition on Friday, drawing 0-0 with Scotland despite dominating possession (74%) and registering 16 shots. Only two attempts found the target, producing an xG of 0.94 and just one clear-cut chance. The absence of Christian Eriksen was palpable, leaving the Danes short of creativity in the final third.

Prediction
Greece began their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign emphatically, dismantling Belarus 5-1. Jovanović’s side are riding a four-match winning streak across all competitions and have lost only twice in their last 14 home fixtures at the Karaiskáki. Denmark, meanwhile, have struggled to convert dominance into goals and remain winless in their last six away outings.
Given Greece’s form, confidence, and home advantage, they are well placed to secure another victory on Monday.
Three reasons we expect Greece to Win
- Greece are on a four-match winning streak across all competitions, scoring 16 goals in that run.
- Denmark have gone six away matches without a win in all competitions (two draws, four defeats).
- Greece have lost only two of their last 14 home fixtures in all competitions (10 wins, two draws, two losses).
