"Denmark's qualification campaign has begun in emphatic fashion. After a goalless draw with Scotland in their opener, Brian Riemer's side turned in a clinical display in their rematch with Greece, winning 3-0 on foreign soil. Most recently, they demolished Belarus 6-0 in a neutral venue, with Rasmus Højlund registering a brace and Patrick Dorgu adding another - extending their goal difference to +9."
"Under Riemer, Denmark have shown consistency and balance. They have strung together four consecutive clean sheets for the first time since October 2021. Their overall record of five wins in his first nine matches further underscores how quickly they have found rhythm. Although Scotland remain in close pursuit, Denmark are firmly in control of Group C. A win against Greece would leave them in a strong position to secure automatic qualification, especially with the head-to-head fixture between the top two coming later in the group."
