Kazakhstan vs Denmark square off at the Astana Arena in Group H of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers on Sunday (March 26).
De Rod-Hvide has won their last four games against the hosts and will look to continue in the same vein. Kazakhstan was dealt an opening-day defeat in Group H, as they were beaten 2-1 by Slovenia on Thursday (March 23).
Magomed Adiyev’s men have now lost four straight games across competitions, scoring twice and conceding nine goals. Kazakhstan will now set out to secure a fourth win in five home games to get their qualification campaign back on track.
Denmark, meanwhile, made light work of Finland with a 3-1 win at the Parken Stadium. This was De Rod-Hvide’s first outing since their underwhelming 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign, where they crashed out in the group stage with one point from three games.
While Denmark will look to make it two wins from two, they have struggled away from home, where they’re on a three-game losing streak.
