In an international warm-up match, Denmark hosted Sweden. The two Scandinavian teams have similar styles. While Sweden didn't play a tight game, Denmark also focused on tries. Both sides are expected to follow through with a solid style. There won't be many chances to score in this battle. 2.5 goals is the best option for the scoring system. (Thursday 1 a.m. kickoff)
Denmark have named a 26-man squad, with some Ludi midfielder Olehni and Niemauf midfielder Firabenenen beaten, leader Hovant to trial, and Helen, Kirsten Aleichen and other key players not to play soccer. Denmark have been playing soccer steadily. The last time a home warm-up game lost its ripple was seven years ago. It's quite an exaggeration to say that in the previous 11 home warm-up matches they conceded goals.
Sweden did not have a full squad today. The biggest loss was the absence of Portugal's superb goal scorer Kiokinis due to injury. It will take a few weeks to complete knee surgery, which greatly reduces the team's firepower. Both Scandinavian soldiers play with a steady lineup first, and with the total goals scored in the last three encounters all open with 2 goals or less, the chances of scoring again in this match are high.
