Denmark Aims for Dominance: San Marino Faces Daunting Euro 2024 Qualifier
Key Stats
– San Marino have notched only one victory since their inception in 1986.
– In their last qualifying campaign, San Marino conceded 46 goals across 10 matches.
Denmark’s journey in the Euro 2024 qualifying has been anything but smooth. With four encounters behind them, Denmark are lurking two points adrift from the top duo, Finland and Kazakhstan in Group H. Their campaign took off promisingly with a 3-1 win against Finland, a game that was lit up by a scintillating hat-trick from the new Manchester United acquisition, Rasmus Hojlund. However, their consistency has been questionable since that performance.
In their subsequent match, Denmark took a confident 2-0 lead against Kazakhstan, fuelled by Hojlund’s electric form. But Coach Kasper Hjulmand’s team wavered in the latter half, conceding three goals, allowing Kazakhstan to clinch a comeback victory. Yet, they showed their mettle with a 1-0 triumph against Northern Ireland, dominating with a staggering 68% ball possession. The team, however, could only manage a stalemate against Slovenia, with Hojlund, unsurprisingly, finding the net.

Hojlund’s meteoric rise on the international stage has been noteworthy. Since his international debut in 2022, he has struck the net six times in as many appearances. But Denmark’s over-reliance on their 20-year-old sensation is palpable. For a seat in Euro 2024, the entire squad needs to step up.
San Marino’s Uphill Battle San Marino’s Euro 2024 qualifying journey mirrors their historical struggles. Four defeats, zero goals scored – their tale so far is disheartening. Their recent losses range from a 2-0 setback against Northern Ireland and Slovenia, escalating to a 6-0 drubbing from Finland. Their track record since inception in 1986 isn’t much to boast about either, with a solitary win, coming in a friendly against Liechtenstein in 2004. Despite ending a 19-match loss streak in 2022 with a draw against Seychelles, their issues are far from over.
Star Power and Team Line-ups Denmark boasts a star-studded lineup comprising Premier League stalwarts like Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen, and Brentford’s Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard. Manchester United’s midfield maestro, Christian Eriksen, is on the brink of his 123rd international cap, while his teammate Hojlund will be keen on exploiting San Marino’s vulnerable defence.
San Marino, on the other hand, has 19 of its 25 players competing domestically. Their captain, Matteo Vitaioli, has a single goal in 85 caps, and only a handful of players have ever netted internationally.
Predictions:
- Result Prediction: San Marino’s struggles and Denmark’s need for a resounding victory makes this a clear prediction. Considering Denmark’s form and San Marino’s porous defence, a significant win for Denmark seems inevitable. Prediction: Denmark to win with a -5 handicap.
- Correct Score Prediction: Reflecting on Denmark’s strong home form in previous qualifiers, a 6-0 win for Denmark is a probable outcome.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Given his red-hot form, Rasmus Hojlund is our pick to find the net in this game. He’s been consistent, and given San Marino’s defensive frailties, he could very well be on the scoresheet.
Their journey, which began with a 2-1 setback against Slovenia, saw a stunning reversal of fortune with a 3-2 triumph over Denmark. Trailing 2-0, the Kazakhs staged a dramatic comeback, netting three times in the concluding 17 minutes. Subsequent victories against San Marino and Northern Ireland, courtesy of a late winner from prolific striker Abat Aymbetov, have further bolstered their campaign.
