The UEFA Nations League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Denmark lock horns with Luis de la Fuente's Spain side in an intriguing clash at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Friday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Denmark vs Spain Preview
Denmark are in second place in Group 4 of the UEFA Nations League standings and have stepped up to the plate in recent months. The Danish outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Switzerland last month and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Spain, on the other hand, are at the top of their group in the UEFA Nations League table and have been in excellent form this year. La Furia Roja eased past Serbia by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Denmark vs Spain Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Spain have a good historical record against Denmark and have won 13 out of the 17 matches between the two teams, as opposed to Denmark's paltry two victories.
- Spain are unbeaten in their last 14 matches in all competitions and friendly games on the international stage, with their previous defeat coming by a narrow 1-0 scoreline at the hands of Colombia in March this year.
- Spain have won each of their last three matches in the UEFA Nations League, with their previous failure coming in a 0-0 draw in their opening game of the competition against Serbia in September this year.
- After consecutive 2-0 victories against Serbia and Switzerland to begin their UEFA Nations League campaign this year, Denmark are winless in their last two games.
Denmark vs Spain Prediction
Spain will have to do without the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, and Dani Carvajal this week and will have to dig deep to hold their own against a formidable side. Nico Williams and Dani Olmo have been impressive this season and will aim to be at their best for their national team.
Denmark can pull off an upset on their day but have not been at their best in recent months. Spain are the better team on paper and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Denmark 0-1 Spain
