The Czechs And The Danes Will Face Off In Prague
epet ARENA | World Cup play-off final | Tuesday March 31 | 7:45pm
With a place in the 2026 World Cup finals up for grabs, BetVictor News brings you the Czech Republic vs Denmark preview, prediction, H2H record, betting angles and more.
Czech Republic Vs Denmark Preview
The Czech Republic are looking to advance to their first World Cup since the 2006 edition in Germany. Their semi-final victory over Ireland means the new crop of stars are just 90 minutes away from creating history after their heroics on Thursday night.
An end-to-end 2-2 draw was eventually decided via penalties. Jan Kliment netted the decisive spot-kick which has set up the intriguing and hugely vital tie against the Scandinavians. The Czech Republic vs Denmark odds favour Brian Riemer’s side but the Czechs, backed by home support, will be aiming to cause a minor upset.
And that is exactly what Riemer will want to guard against. His boys arrive in the Czech capital brimming with confidence after cruising past North Macedonia 4-0 in the semi-final. Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Norgaard and a brace from Gustav Isaksen done the business in Copenhagen.
With that in mind, the pendulum sits firmly in the Danes favour who will be aiming to advance to their third successive finals. The last time they didn’t qualify was for the 2014 tournament in Brazil. If they get the job done tonight, it’ll be the first time in their history they have qualified for a trio of consecutive World Cups.
Czech Republic Vs Denmark H2H Record
In terms of the Czech Republic vs Denmark H2H record, it’s evenly poised. Both nations have three wins each and six draws. However, the Danes have the upperhand in recent clashes. The last meeting was a quarter-final clash at Euro 2020 whereby Thomas Delaney and Kasper Dolberg scored in a 2-1 win for Kasper Hjulmand’s men.
In fact, Denmark haven’t lost to the Czechs in their last seven meetings. Euro 2004 was the last time the Eastern Europeans claimed victory with a fine 3-0 win. Legendary strikers Milan Baros (2) and Jan Koller were on target in Porto.

Czech Republic Vs Denmark Team News
Patrik Schick will be aiming for his 26th international goal and is expected to lead the line once again for the Czech Republic. The Leverkusen star scored the first against Ireland in the semi-final and will be the biggest threat to the Danes.
Pavel Sulc is another attacking outlet the Czechs will rely upon with West Ham star Tomas Soucek also expected to start in Prague. As for Denmark – who many consider will be a genuine underdog in the World Cup betting markets should they advance – had a number of injuries to navigate before the semi-final.
Kasper Schmeichel, Andreas Christensen, Rasmus Kristensen, Patrick Dorgu and Jannik Vestergaard all missed out against North Macedonia. The same applied to Philip Billing, Yussuf Poulsen and Andreas Skov Olsen but Joachim Andersen is back from suspension. Napoli forward Rasmus Hojlund will lead the attack.
