Recent history shines in favour of Ireland against Denmark — and any psychological edge Martin O’Neill can have over the Danes is likely to be warmly received. Ireland beat Denmark 4-0 the last time these two nations met, in a friendly in Aarhus 10 years ago. You have to go back to 1994 World Cup qualifying for the last competitive fixtures between the countries, which were drawn both home and away.
