Denmark hosts Northern Ireland in Group H of the Europa League. Denmark won 1 and lost 1 in their first two matches, but last time they lost 2-3 against Kazakhstan, which is a surprise, reflecting the unstable performance of this Nordic team. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, I believe they won't hold back for the rest of the matches, and will try their best to win the matches. Northern Ireland's aging defense may not be able to withstand Denmark's attack, and with Denmark scoring 3 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 matches, a 2.5 goal margin is worth it. (Saturday 2:45am kickoff)
Denmark is obviously stronger in Group H and should have no problem to get out of the group. However, in their last match against Kazakhstan, they were leading by two goals in the first half with the new star Horant, they might have thought that they are sure to win and slacked off at the end of the game, and as a result, they were beaten by Kazakhstan by scoring three goals in a row to lose 2-3. This match is a lesson for Denmark, so they won't take any opponents lightly in the future. With Gustin Aleksson, Kasper Schmidt, Jusuf and Paulsen in the lineup, they will not let up even if they take the lead in the early stages and will continue to try to score goals.
Northern Ireland also won 1 and lost 1 in their first two matches, but the opponent they won against was San Marino, which is a big fish, and they only won 2-0, and last time they lost 0-1 against Finland at home. Their biggest problem is the aging of their lineup, the two back-ups are the 35-year old captain Johnny Evans and the 34-year old Kafka Katt, which are both too experienced and too weak to be able to hold up against the strong Danish team, and they won't be able to score less goals.
