"Sweden have scored in 13/15 qualifiers on foreign soil. At the other end of the pitch, Sweden have managed only four clean sheets in those games. And all of the shutouts have come against much weaker opposition than Denmark."

Neither Denmark or Sweden will be parking their buses in Parken Stadium tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

Denmark v Sweden
Tuesday 19:45

Ireland 2-0 Bosnia in Dublin last night. Which means that, while the locals enjoy a pint or ten of the black stuff, we need to find a way out of the red stuff.

Today, we go again on another Euro 2016 playoff second leg. This time it's a local derby.

Denmark have conceded in six of their last 10 competitive home games. Trailing 2-1 after last week's first leg, the not-so-great Danes have at least scored in 9/13 on home turf, notching at least twice in seven of those matches.

Since 2010 their cousins from the other side of that dangerous trans-Oresund bridge have scored in 13/15 qualifiers on foreign soil. At the other end of the pitch, Sweden have managed only four clean sheets in those games. And all of the shutouts have come against much weaker opposition than Denmark.

Liechtenstein, Moldova, Kazakhstan and San Marino, if you really want to know.
