World Cup European Qualifiers live: Israel vs Denmark prediction and preview 

Denmark had a successful Nations League campaign and finished second in the group ahead of England and only behind Belgium. Denmark were in contention for the top spot until they lost out 4-2 to the group frontrunners in their concluding fixture. That loss ended Denmark's five-match winning streak in all competitions and are favourites to make it to the World Cup from Group F, with only Austria being the genuine top spot contender. If they make it, it will be only the second time in their history that the Red and Whites make it to consecutive World Cup Finals since 1998 and 2002. 

Israel meanwhile have had a sort of resurgence in recent times, with PSV Eindhoven star Eran Zahavi leading the side. While ranked 87th, Israel have the potential to be dark horses in the competition and in recent times picked up wins over Scotland and Slovakia. Israel have only qualified for the World Cup once, way back in 1970, and have a good chance of making history this time around. Denmark are overwhelming favourites, but Israel will back themselves to pull off an upset on Thursday.
