  • Date: Saturday, 7 June 2025
  • Venue: Parken Stadion, Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Fixture: Denmark vs Northern Ireland (International Friendly)

Match Preview

Denmark welcomes Northern Ireland to Copenhagen’s Parken Stadion for an international friendly on Saturday, June 7, 2025, in what promises to be an intriguing test for both sides as they continue preparations for upcoming competitive fixtures. Denmark, now under the stewardship of Brian Riemer, is in a period of transition after Kasper Hjulmand’s departure post-EURO 2024. Riemer’s early tenure has already seen the Danes push Portugal to extra time in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals, ultimately falling 5-3 on aggregate, but showing flashes of attacking promise and tactical flexibility.

Northern Ireland, led by the experienced Michael O’Neill, arrive in Copenhagen aiming to bounce back from a humbling 5-1 friendly defeat to Sweden in March. Despite that setback, the Green and White Army have lost just twice in their last 12 outings, with their only other defeat a heavy 4-0 loss to Finland in late 2023. Their recent form has included a 1-1 draw with Switzerland and a solid 2-0 win over Belarus in the Nations League, showing they can be resilient when organized.

Looking at recent results, Denmark’s last five games have been a mixed bag: a 1-0 home win over Portugal, a 5-2 loss away to Portugal, a 0-0 draw in Serbia, a 2-1 home defeat to Spain, and a 2-2 away draw with Switzerland. The Danes are still searching for consistency as Riemer experiments with his squad and tactics, but the core of the team—anchored by experienced figures like Christian Eriksen and Kasper Schmeichel—remains intact.

Northern Ireland’s recent matches include the aforementioned heavy loss to Sweden, a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, a 2-2 draw away to Luxembourg, and consecutive wins over Belarus (2-0) and Bulgaria (5-0) in the Nations League. Injuries and suspensions are not expected to significantly impact either squad, with both managers likely to use this friendly to test younger players and fringe options.


Key Players

Denmark:

  • Christian Eriksen (Manchester United): The midfield maestro remains Denmark’s creative heartbeat, dictating tempo and providing set-piece threat.
  • Rasmus Højlund (Manchester United): The young striker’s pace and movement have made him a focal point in attack, and he’ll be eager to impress on home soil.
  • Kasper Schmeichel (Celtic): The veteran goalkeeper’s leadership and shot-stopping ability continue to provide a solid foundation at the back.
  • Jannik Vestergaard (Leicester City): A commanding presence in central defence, dangerous on set pieces.

Northern Ireland:

  • Paddy McNair (San Diego FC): The versatile midfielder/defender is a key leader and brings valuable experience to a youthful squad.
  • George Saville (Millwall): A tireless engine in midfield, capable of breaking up play and driving forward.
  • Daniel Ballard (Sunderland): A strong, no-nonsense defender who will be crucial in containing Denmark’s forwards.

Prediction

Denmark are clear favourites at home, boasting greater squad depth and more quality in key positions. With Brian Riemer still moulding his side, expect the Danes to control possession and create the better chances, though Northern Ireland’s resilience and organization under O’Neill should keep the scoreline respectable. Denmark’s superior technical ability, especially in midfield, should ultimately tell, but with both sides likely to rotate and experiment, a goal-fest is unlikely.

Prediction: Denmark 2-0 Northern Ireland
A comfortable, professional win for the hosts, with Eriksen pulling the strings and Højlund likely to get on the scoresheet.

Odds are indicative and may vary. Denmark are strong favourites, and a low-scoring home win is the most likely outcome.


Expect a lively atmosphere at Parken as Denmark look to lay down a marker ahead of a busy international calendar, while Northern Ireland will be keen to show their progress under O’Neill and avoid another Scandinavian setback.
