Denmark vs Armenia preview

Czech Republic vs DenmarkDenmark have a good chance to revive their World Cup bid with a home win over Armenia, a team that have lost last four qualifying matches.

The Danes have largely impressed at the Euro 2012 despite crashing out in group stage, having come really close to progressing from the group of death.

As a result, experienced boss Morten Olsen was allowed to continue his work, but his side had a pretty slow start to the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

Denmark shared spoils with Czech Republic and Bulgaria before losing to Italy, and they were on the brink of eliminating ahead of the trip to Olomuc.

Nevertheless, the Nordic side produced an excellent performance to record a 3-0 win over Czech Republic, and are now in a position to close the gap behind second-placed Bulgari to just one point.

Even though the hosts are not going to have an easy job against Armenia, you should know home win pays 1.30 (3/10) at Sportingbet.

Boss Morten Olsen has experienced some problems of late as Simon Kjaer and Niki Zimling picked up injuries, but the pair has been passed fit for the Armenia game.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Andersen – Jacobsen, Kjaer, Okore, S. Poulsen – Stokholm, Zimling – Rommedahl, Eriksen, Pedersen – Cornelius.

After showing a lot of potential in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, when they narrowly missed out on a place in the play-offs, Armenia have been utterly disappointing this term.

Having won their opening 2014 World Cup qualifier against Malta, they recorded four straight defeats, with Friday’s home defeat to Malta leaving a bad taste in the mouth.

Vardan Minasyan’s men are now determined to show some improvement following the shocking home defeat, but it remains to be seen if they can upset very good Denmark side.

Star forward Yura Movsisyan was surprisingly left out of the team to face Malta, so he is expected to return to the starting line-up, while Karlen Mkrtchyan has recovered from injury.

Having failed to score a single goal in the last two qualifiers, Armenia are 1.83 (5/6) with Paddy Power not to score in Denmark.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Berezovskiy – Hovhannisyan, Arzumanyan, Voskanyan, Aleksanyan – Ozbiliz, Mkhitaryan, Mkrtchyan, Pizzelli – Manucharyan, Movsisyan.
