Denmark vs Spain

Copenhagen’s famous Parken Stadium forms the backdrop for a mouth-watering UEFA Nations League clash between Denmark and Spain.

Denmark’s first-ever playoff qualification in the Nations League is within striking distance after a solid four-game start to their Group A4 journey (W2, D1, L1). Despite a 2-2 draw at Switzerland last time out, Denmark will lock down a quarter-final berth by bettering Serbia’s away result against Nati in the other group fixture. Confident of holding up their end of the bargain despite Spain’s pre-match favorite tag, Brian Riemer’s men come into proceedings having won their last four home outings in this competition via an identical 2-0 scoreline. However, the Danes must go above and beyond to make it five wins in a row, considering they’ve failed to beat Spain in their last eight meetings, suffering a disturbing seven defeats in that sequence (D1).

On the other hand, Spain eased past lowly Serbia 3-0 in the previous round to confirm their playoff berth with a game to spare, extending their winning streak in this group to three matches following a tepid 0-0 draw in Belgrade on matchday one. Though two of Spain’s three victories in the ongoing cycle came by a three-goal margin, they barely squeezed past Denmark in the reverse fixture (1-0), registering a second consecutive win ‘to nil’ against this opposition. Luis de la Fuente’s men take this trip in good spirits, boasting an outstanding 14-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W12, D2), including their remarkable Euro 2024 triumph. Interestingly, the Spaniards have netted five goals beyond the 75th minute across their last five outings.
