Denmark vs North Macedonia picks and predictions
My Denmark vs North Macedonia best bet: Rasmus Hojlund to score (-102 at Sports Interaction)
Rasmus Hojlund enters this matchup in outstanding form, scoring in each of Denmark’s last four games, including goals against Greece (home and away), Scotland, and a brace versus Belarus. He’s not just finding the net — he’s consistently getting into dangerous positions and leading the line with confidence.
That momentum has carried into club play, where he’s found the net 14 times in all competitions this season. Against a North Macedonia side that conceded seven goals to Wales in November and has struggled defensively against quality opposition, this sets up as a prime opportunity for Hojlund to extend his scoring run once again.

Rasmus Hojlund to score
Over 9.5 corners
Mikkel Damsgaard 1+ shots on target
Denmark averaged 8.7 corners per match in the qualifiers, so that's an indication of their attacking philosophy and their focus on set pieces.
Mikkel Damsgaard is a very important piece in the Danish puzzle. He is also dangerous from free-kicks, which bodes well for us to attack his shot on target market.
