Denmark, Croatia, looks to secure much-wanted spots

Denmark and Croatia will look to secure they much-wanted spots in the Nations League A. Denmark is looking to secure a finals spot by defeating Croatia in this match. However, Croatia will most likely not let that to happen as they are also trying to secure the top spot in their group. Coming into this game, these two teams actually came from a good match as they both came from a victory. Denmark won against Austria in a 2-0 victory courtesy of Jonas Wind and Andreas Skov Olsen. On the other hand, for the Croatian squad, they had a 1-0 victory against France, all thanks to Luka Modric’s goal.

Croatia will be hosting their match against Denmark on September 23, 2022, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8). Croatia actually had a slow start this season, but they still managed to defeat Denmark when they first met. Croatia’s campaign in this tournament is actually ups and downs as they win and lose and win again. Moreover, Denmark only lost two of their last 14 matches across all competitions, but one of it is against Croatia. In 10 of those 14 matches, Denmark amazingly scored at least two goals. That record speaks a lot of how powerful of a team Denmark is.

Denmark

Going into this game, Denmark’s goal is simple; win, and secure a spot in the Nations League finals. Despite being in a much tougher group, Denmark managed to be resilient and just continued playing their game. This squad managed to play impressively and was never afraid of their powerful opponents from the start. From their first four matches in their group stage, Denmark took nine points from there. Actually, the mindset of the Danes in this tournament is to never go back down to Group B no matter what. Denmark is now looking to stay at the top of the standings and secure a final spot. If they will lose against Croatia, they might face bigger challenges which is no advantage for them.

Christian Eriksen will continue to lead the Danes, where he was able to score 31 goals along with 14 assists in 92 matches with the national team. Unfortunately, Jonas Wind will be out in this match because of his injury. Despite his absence, they can depend of the talents of Andreas Skov Olsen, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Joakim Maehle.

Croatia

For someone who defeated the defending champions of the World Cup, it is a huge boost on this squad when they won against France. This is somehow Croatia’s revenge as they were the runners-up in that World Cup France won. As they are looking to snatch the top spot in the standings, they might have a chance to win this time. Croatia won their past three meetings against Denmark including one in the 2018 World Cup. In their last meeting, they were able to hold the Danes goalless. This squad has no room for a loss because losing in this match means ending their dream of nations League title.

What is good in this team is that they have a lot of familiar yet powerful members on their roster. Ever since Luka Modric went back to this squad, they have been nothing but be impressive. They also have stars like Mateo Kovacic, Marcelo Brozovic, and Mario Pasalic who are all very talented.
