The UEFA Nations League is back in action this weekend as Denmark take on a struggling Iceland outfit at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Sunday. Denmark have a good recent record against Iceland and are the favourites to win this fixture.
Iceland suffered a devastating 2-1 defeat against Hungary earlier this week and will want to bounce back in this game. The island nation is currently rooted to the bottom of Group 2 in the UEFA Nations League standings and is in desperate need of a victory.
Denmark, on the other hand, have been punching well above their weight in the UEFA Nations League and are currently only behind Belgium in Group 2. The Danes pipped England to a 1-0 victory last month and will be confident going into this game.
