There is a chance that both sides qualify for Euro 2024 in this game with them each on 19 points, six wins, alongside a draw and a loss each.

This puts the two nations four points above Kazakhstan in third, so a draw here and a loss or draw for Kazakhstan in their game against San Marino means Denmark and Slovenia will be through to the finals.
However, dropped points against San Marino is impossible to see, given how they are the worst team on the European continent once more.
Ultimately, these two sides will be aiming for all three points to qualify for Euro 2024.
Denmark will also come into this one desperate to impress after narrowly beating San Marino 2-1.
Despite a victory that day, the win was one of the worst results in recent years for Denmark, given the team they faced.
In fact, that goal for San Marino was their first and only of the Euro 2024 Qualifiers and their first goal in countless games.
Rasmus Hojlund got the ball rolling for the Danes that day before Yussuf Poulsen scored in the second half to win the game.
Alarmingly, however, Denmark saw just four shots on target against the lowest-ranked European side.
On the other hand, although they will be unhappy with the performance, the win does now mean that Denmark are on a six-game unbeaten run since their loss to Kazakhstan which saw them lose a 2-0 lead and suffer a 3-2 loss.
Since then, the nation has only witnessed dropped points in one game, as they drew with Slovenia in their last meeting.
Andraz Sporar scored for Slovenia that day, as yet another goal for Hojlund in the first half sealed a point.
Other results have seen Kasper Hjulmand's side defeat Northern Ireland, Finland, Kazakhstan and San Marino twice over, scoring 11 goals in the process and letting in only two.
As for Slovenia, they are also on a healthy winning run after a 4-2 victory over Northern Ireland was matched with a 4-0 win over San Marino, a 3-0 victory over Finland and another win over Northern Ireland last time out.
