Out of the three all-European ties in the Round of 16, the second match at Russia 2018 is a first in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Both sides in their previous meetings in friendlies and qualifiers have drawn one and won two.

One of the sensations on this World Cup is The Vatreni by being victorious in all three of their group games.

Denmark is determined to cause an upset, having in mind that they still remain unbeaten.
