Denmark vs Belarus Prediction and Betting Tips (28.05.2021)

Command Analysis

Denmark

Denmark are fourth in group A with a total of five points. The Danish national team lacks stability in their game, and they alternate wins and defeats. After a sensational victory over Sweden, the Danes lost to Switzerland (0:1), beat Great Britain (3:2 ОТ), and got three unanswered goals from Russia (0:3).

There are no high-class forwards in the squad, who could take charge of the attack. We could mention the good performance of Nicklas Jensen, who has scored four goals and gave three assists, but his efforts won't be enough to take the team to the playoffs.

Belarus

Belarus lost three games out of four, but their only victory was over Sweden (0:1). They also fought well against the Czech Republic, but still lost in overtime (2:3 ОТ). But being the favourite in the game against Great Britain, they got defeated in regulation time (3:4).

The bookies hadn't doubted that Belarus would win, but the game was equal and Mikhail Zakharov's men were not so much stronger. Right now Belarus is on the sixth line of the standings and they are unlikely to go to the playoffs, since ahead of them in the group stage are really tough opponents.

Tip and bets

2.32Denmark to win

Denmark are the favourite in this fixture. In the last game, the Belarusians were defeated by Great Britain, and this probably affected their morale. In our opinion, Heinz Ehlers' charges have looked more reliable so far, at least in defense.

Our prediction is Denmark to win.
