Despite the fact that Nicklas Bendtner, who scored twice in over 10 matches this season, is not exactly leading the line for Wolfsburg, he is definitely one of the key players for the Danish national team.
In a crucial match for securing a spot in the European Championship, the 27-year-old striker, representing Denmark, will try to overcome the resistance of the Swedish national team.
Leading the opposition undoubtedly will be the star of Paris Saint-Germain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been in great form both for his club and his country. With PSG, Ibra scored 9 goals in eight Ligue 1 matches this season, and in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, he scored eight times in as many matches.
Nevertheless, despite Sweden looking menacing, Bendtner could shine in this encounter. The former Arsenal player scored two goals and provided four assists in the last seven qualifier matches.
Additionally, the striker has one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League behind him, Christian Eriksen.
It will be interesting to watch not only the main duel between the two national teams, but also the micro-duel between Bendtner and Ibrahimovic, which will greatly influence the attacking potential of the national teams.
The first match between Denmark and Sweden will kick off at 21:45 local time.
