In an International Friendly held on June 7, 2025, Denmark defeated Northern Ireland 2-1 at Parken, Copenhagen. Denmark dominated possession with 73.3% and registered 17 total shots, 7 of which were on target. Northern Ireland, playing in a 3-4-2-1 formation, struggled to create opportunities, managing only 2 shots, none of which tested the Danish goalkeeper. The game saw goals from Gustav Isaksen just before halftime (45'+2') and Christian Eriksen in the 67th minute for Denmark, while Northern Ireland's lone goal came early via an own goal by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in the 6th minute.
The AI's pre-game prediction favored a Denmark win, and the actual result validated this prediction. The AI model correctly identified Denmark as the likely winner. The home team's win probability was predicted at 49.0% before the game, highlighting their advantage.
Analyzing Denmark's recent form, this victory follows a mixed bag of results including a heavy defeat against Portugal (5-2) and a win against the same opponent (1-0). Prior to that, Denmark recorded two draws and suffered a loss against Spain. Their recent games suggest some inconsistency.
Northern Ireland's form has also been shaky, suffering a heavy defeat against Sweden (5-1) and drawing with Switzerland (1-1) in their most recent matches. Before that, they managed two wins and a draw in the UEFA Nations League. The team's defensive vulnerability was exposed in this match and in the game versus Sweden.
Looking at previous head-to-head encounters, Northern Ireland had previously defeated Denmark 2-0, while Denmark had previously won 1-0. Denmark's dominance in possession in this match contrasts with some of their earlier performances, indicating a potential shift in tactics. The low number of shots from Northern Ireland is significantly less than in their wins from the UEFA Nations League, where they defeated Belarus and Bulgaria. This could be an indication of the team struggling to translate that Nations League form into the International Friendly setting. Overall, Denmark's improved attacking output, coupled with Northern Ireland's struggles in attack, contributed to the home side’s victory in this International Friendly.
