Denmark vs Ukraine Preview
Denmark are in a transitional phase, with stalwarts Kasper Schmeichel and Jannik Vestergaard stepping away from international duty. Their recent form reads as mixed, collecting two draws and a single victory from the last three outings. A goalless stalemate against the Democratic Republic of Congo on 3 June underlined the creative void Kasper Hjulmand's side must address. The absence of Christian Eriksen, their most influential playmaker, compounds those concerns significantly.
Ukraine arrive in Odense buoyed by a convincing 2-0 victory over Poland, with Roman Yaremchuk and Andriy Yarmolenko both finding the net. New head coach Andrea Maldera has confirmed that Ruslan Malinovskyi and Illia Zabarnyi will start, signalling his intent to establish a settled spine. Two wins from three recent fixtures suggest growing momentum, though a defeat in that sequence tempers expectations. Both sides missed out on the 2026 World Cup and are rebuilding accordingly.
Denmark's home form reads two draws and a win from their last three outings, a sequence that reflects a side still finding its feet after losing several experienced figures. Without Eriksen, their creative output drops considerably, and the goalless draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo underlined a lack of cutting edge. Backing the double chance in favour of the hosts, covered by the home win price at 1.70, accounts for that defensive solidity.
Ukraine arrive in Odense with genuine momentum. A convincing victory over Poland, courtesy of goals from Roman Yaremchuk and Andriy Yarmolenko, showed clinical finishing under new head coach Andrea Maldera. Ruslan Malinovskyi and Illia Zabarnyi are confirmed starters, adding quality in midfield and at the back. Still, their recent loss tempers expectations on the road.
The 1X selection looks the shrewdest angle here. Denmark's home record, even in friendlies, tends to be resilient, and Ukraine's away form, despite that Poland result, includes a defeat in their last three. Under 2.5 goals at N/A merits consideration given Denmark's bluntness in attack. Odds and markets subject to change.

Both sides line up in a 4-2-3-1, setting the stage for a tactically mirrored friendly in Copenhagen. Christian Eriksen pulls the strings in the Danish midfield, while Ukraine's double pivot will look to screen the back four and limit the space he so often exploits.
For Ukraine, Ruslan Malinovskyi and Heorhiy Sudakov offer genuine creative threat behind Roman Yaremchuk, meaning Denmark's own double pivot faces a stern examination. With both confirmations sourced across multiple credible outlets on the day of kickoff, there is little uncertainty surrounding either starting eleven.
