A mentally distraught Denmark side looks to keep their qualification hopes alive as they take on Belgium this Thursday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

With six wins each in their last 15 encounters, both side look evenly matches with regards to their head-to-head record. The same can’t be said on paper as the top ranked international team in world football look to push ahead.

Can the Danes come back after Saturday’s distressing events ?

In the second half, celebrations for Pohjanpalo’s goal were muted following the distressing events in the first half as Denmark’s playmaker suffered a cardiac arrest in the opening 45 minutes. The game was initially suspended but was later continued with Finland picking up their first victory in international tournaments via a 1-0 victory.

Belgium quickly established dominance in this group as they got the better of Russia in their own opening fixture. Lukaku opened the scoring while Meunière doubled the Red Devils’ lead just before the halftime whistle. The Internazionale forward recorded his brace two minutes from time as his side recorded a 3-0 victory.
