Our prediction for this match:
David faces Goliath at Brondby Stadion as Denmark and Faroe Islands go head to head in a warm-up game on Tuesday evening. The Danes played out a boring goalless draw with Switzerland on Saturday, but the reputable bookies see them as hot favourites to beat Faroe Islands in front of home fans. Experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen should be given a rest as well as fellow Man Utd man Rasmus Hojlund, with both Kasper Dolberg and Morten Hjumland pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The visitors, on the other hand, rolled over Liechtenstein 4-0 in their first friendly of the year, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Denmark, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Denmark are eyeing their seventh consecutive win over Faroe Islands and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Tuesday’s clash without any difficulties. A man to watch in the away team will be Klaksvik forward Paetur Petersen, who scored a brace against Liechtenstein.
