Analysis of Group C of World European Championship: Herro vs Denmark, Eriksen misses the game, both sides start

2026 World Cup European Qualifier Group C

Greece vs Denmark, September 9, 2025 02:45 ()

‍In the early morning of the 9th, Greece will sit in the Karaiskaki Stadium in Piraeus to face the Nordic powerhouse Denmark. Greece is currently ranked 51st in FIFA, up 8 places from the same period in 2024, but is still hovering between second-rate and third-rate teams in Europe. The total value of the team is about 120 million euros, lower than Denmark's 350 million euros. The core players have a relatively large age structure. Denmark currently ranks third with 1 point, and Greece ranks first with 3 points. The winners of both sides are expected to win the first place in the group. I believe both sides will do their best. So what exactly is this game? Let's analyze:

Denmark has performed very well in international football in recent years, and has advanced to the top 16 in the World Cup for two consecutive times. It has online strength. The players on this World Cup roster include Hoylen from Manchester United, Dorgu, Biris from Morocco, Jurmander from Portugal Sports, Damsgao from Brentford, O'Reilly from Brighton, Annosen from Fulham, and Christensen from Barcelona. The team's biggest problem was that after Eriksen was not, his creativity in the middle fell sharply. Facing Greece in this game, the team definitely hopes to get points and gain more advantages in order to advance.

Greece has certain competitiveness in European football. The team is used to use 4-4-2 formations, and the tactical style focuses on defensive stability and simplicity and efficiency in offense. On the defensive end, Greece has a strong overall sense of collaboration. In terms of offense, Mitroglu is an important reliance on the team's forward line, with excellent ability to grab points in front of the goal and strong heading advantages. He was 5-1 at home in the first leg of the group stage. In this game, facing Denmark with great strength, it was not easy for the team to get points.

From the perspective of comprehensive strength, Denmark will inevitably have the advantage. Since 2010, Greece and Denmark have played 6 times in official matches, with Denmark having the upper hand with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, but Greece remains unbeaten at home. Now we meet again. Whoever can win in the end depends on who will perform better on the spot.

Greece is expected to start with a 4-2-3-1 formation: Zolakis; Vajanidis, Mavropanos, Cullierakis, Zimikas; Zaferis, Courberis; Karechas, Bacascetas, Zolis; Pavlidis

‍Denmark is expected to start with a 3-4-1-2 formation: Schmeichel; Christensen, Anderson, Christensen; Deléré, Jurmand, Hoyber, Meer; Damsgou; Dorbery, Bierres‍
