In the first international match of 2019, the Swiss had in Tbilisi against Georgia ran. Compared to an unpleasant opponent, the Swiss took a long time, especially in the first half.

If you look at the FIFA World Ranking, the Danish national team, currently number ten in the world, will be Switzerland’s main contender in Group D for first place. Since March 2016, the Danes are trained by the Norwerger Age Hareide, who became coach Morten Olsen’s successor. From 2016 also comes the last competitive defeat of Danish Dynamite in the regular season. At that time they lost 1-0 at home in the World Cup qualifier against Montenegro. After that, there was only one more competitive game: In the last sixteen of the last World Cup, the Danes lost on penalties against Croatia. Overall, the record under the current national coach is 16 wins, twelve draws and only six defeats. In the last 17 competitive games, there was only the defeat at the World Cup against Croatia. However, the European champion of the year 1992 does not necessarily play the most attractive football under the Norwegian coach. The focus is clearly on the defensive. Danish Dynamite plays a simple, direct football without much risk-taking.

Many scoring chances are not earned, but also not allowed. In the offensive, the team is dependent on Tottenham professional Christian Eriksen. In the Nations League, the Scandinavians in Group 4 of the B Division had the teams from Wales and Ireland behind them with two wins and two draws and thus secured the promotion to League A. In the first international match of the year 2019, the men of coach Hareide had to play on Thursday in a friendly match in Kosovo. In the match, the hosts had twice taken the lead. The Danes had been able to draw both times. The goal for the 2-2 final score scored the former Bayern professional Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg but only in the 92nd minute. However, players like Kaspar Dolberg and Christian Eriksen were only substituted in the match. The Leipzig Yussuf Poulsen was completely spared. In the current squad is missing the striker Robert Skov injured. For him BVB professional Jacob Bruun Larsen was appointed to the national team for the first time.
