Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Greece
Match Time & Date:
8 September 2025
19:45
Prediction: 1-1
Denmark
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium will be the centre of attention when Greece and Denmark lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Group C derby. The Galanolefki faced no difficulties in a 5-1 crushing of Belarus, but they face a difficult task against Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Co. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Greece boss Ivan Jovanovic is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Belarus on Friday evening.
The Danes, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Scotland in the opening match of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Denmark look solid at the back and with Greece being tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Speaking of the way team, new Napoli striker Rasmus Hojlund is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute against Scotland.
Highlighted Player (Christian Eriksen):
Christian Eriksen born on 14th of February 1992 is a Danish football who plays as a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen played in the youth of Odense BK and Ajax Amsterdam where he got picked up by Tottenham Hotspur after 3 seasons.
On 29th of August Eriksen got transferred for 13 million euro and is one of the most expensive Danish football players of all time. Christian Eriksen made his debut in March 2010 for the Danish national team and was the youngest player during the World Cup in 2010.
So far Eriksen played for over 200 club games for Ajax and Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen is known for his great passing skills and game overview. In his career Eriksen managed to become national champion with Ajax 3 times and won several individual prices for being one of the most talented player of the moment.
Highlighted Team (Greece):
Former European champions Greece played their first official match on April 7, 1929, with the team suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Italy in Athens. The Greeks booked their place at the FIFA World Cup finals in 1994 for the first time ever, but they failed to impress at the showpiece tournament in United States of America.
The Galanolefki were eliminated in the group stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well, but they made it to the knockout stages of the tournament in Brazil four years later. However, the Greeks were more than unfortunate not to book their place in the quarter-finals as they were beaten by Costa Rica on penalties. However, Greece did remarkably well to win the 2004 European Championship and that is considered the national team’s biggest success.
Otto Rehhagel outplayed the likes of France and Czech Republic in the knockout stages to set up a meeting with hosts Portugal in the title game. Thanks to Angelos Charisteas’ goal 12 minutes into the second half Greece won the European Championship.
