Denmark is set to face Scotland in a World Cup qualifier, with midfielder Scott McTominay identified as a key threat. National team defender Joachim Andersen and national coach Brian Riemer have both highlighted McTominay’s scoring ability, particularly his timely runs into the box.

McTominay’s impressive form has made him a major concern for the Danish defense. Andersen emphasized the difficulty in defending against his runs, especially when he moves behind the front defenders. He stressed the need for midfield support to contain McTominay.

Riemer acknowledged McTominay as Scotland’s strongest midfield asset, highlighting his goal-scoring prowess and physical presence. McTominay’s recent success includes a standout season with Napoli, where he scored 12 goals and provided six assists, earning him the league’s best player award. He has also scored 12 goals in 61 appearances for the Scottish national team.

Despite recognizing McTominay’s individual qualities, Riemer emphasized the importance of a collective defensive effort. He noted Denmark’s past success in handling other top players by focusing on their own game. The team aims to replicate this approach in Friday’s match, which will be played in a sold-out stadium.
