Road to the semi-final

Denmark enter the play-offs after finishing second in Group C, a 4-2 defeat away to Scotland in their final qualifier denying them automatic passage. Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen saw red during that Hampden Park encounter, and two late Scottish goals flipped the section on its head.

North Macedonia, meanwhile, ended third in Group J with only three wins from ten qualifiers. Yet with a first-ever World Cup appearance still mathematically possible, head coach Goce Seloski has summoned a 26-man squad that mixes experience with ambition. Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas and Rangers striker Bojan Miovski provide the headline names, while team-mates ply their trade across Europe, Asia and North America.

What’s at stake

The victor books a place in next week’s Path C final, where either the Czech Republic or the Republic of Ireland await. For Denmark, anything less than progression would mark a second consecutive qualifying failure after last year’s near-miss. For North Macedonia—FIFA members only since 1993—an appearance on football’s biggest stage would cap the greatest chapter in the nation’s short footballing history.

FourFourTwo’s projection tips the Danes to advance comfortably on home soil, but knockout football has produced bigger shocks, and North Macedonia have already shown they can spring surprises when the stakes are highest.
