Austria vs Denmark prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23

The UEFA Nations League returns to the fold with another round of matches as Austria take on Denmark on Monday, 6 June. Both teams have been impressive this year and have a point to prove.

Austria topped their group in League B last season and have already shown promise under Ralf Rangnick. The hosts thrashed Croatia by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Denmark, on the other hand, finished in second place behind Belgium in their group last year and will look to take it up a notch this time around. The Danes stunned reigning champions France with a 2-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of the match.

Austria vs Denmark Prediction

Denmark pulled off a stunning coup against France, with Andreas Cornelius coming off the bench to score a brace. The Danes have pulled off several upsets in the past and have already made an excellent start to their Nations League campaign.

Austria also laid down a marker against Croatia but have plenty of work to do to sustain their form. Denmark are the better team on paper and hold a slight upper hand this week.
