------------------------------------
Scotland and Denmark face off at Hampden Park with a World Cup 2026 place on the line. Scotland must win to qualify automatically, keeping their hopes alive despite Saturday’s defeat. Denmark, meanwhile, only need a draw to secure their spot.

Team Analysis:
Scotland’s hopes of automatic qualification were revived after a chaotic weekend in which they lost 3-2 to Greece but benefited from Denmark’s shock slip against Belarus. A win in Glasgow would send the Scots to their first World Cup since 1998, while anything less pushes them into the playoffs. Denmark still lead the group by a point, knowing a draw is enough to seal their place.

Player Situation:
Scotland enter the match with several injury concerns, relying on 42-year-old Craig Gordon after Angus Gunn’s withdrawal and weighing potential changes following missed chances in Greece. Ryan Christie and Ben Doak offer bright spots, having both scored recently, while Che Adams may be at risk of losing his spot. Denmark also face uncertainty, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joachim Andersen battling illness, though Morten Hjulmand is expected to return to bolster the midfield.

Result Prediction:
Denmark squandered a golden chance to qualify last weekend, but a draw in Scotland would still secure their World Cup place. Scotland’s shaky defence could be exposed once they push forward in search of a win. That scenario suits Denmark, who have the pace and quality to punish them on the break.

Predicted Result: Scotland 1-1 Denmark.
