A victory would ensure the team’s domination in the group, while a draw could suffice if Denmark fails to triumph over Serbia in the other match of the section.
In Group D, France and the Netherlands were deadlocked in a goalless draw in their recent clash, both accumulating four points in the process.
France is set to face Poland, who are already eliminated, while the Netherlands are scheduled to play against Austria. Notably, a win for Austria against the Dutch would guarantee their progression into the knockout rounds with six points.
Should both France and the Netherlands achieve victories or draws on Tuesday, they will be further separated for the top spot based on overall goal difference, overall goals scored, disciplinary points, and their European qualifiers rankings.
