Match Preview

Denmark and Wales both enter this Nations League A4 fixture seeking to bounce back from opening-round defeats. The Danes fell 3-2 to Norway in Oslo despite a spirited comeback, while Wales suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Portugal in Lisbon.

Brian Riemer’s Denmark side showed character in Norway, recovering from a two-goal deficit before Erling Haaland’s late winner denied them a point. Back on home soil, where they have been nearly invincible, the Red and Whites will be confident of securing their first victory of the campaign.

Craig Bellamy’s Wales face a daunting task in Copenhagen. The Dragons are winless in their last five matches and have been decimated by injuries, with Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, and Dylan Lawlor all unavailable.

Head-to-Head Record 📋

Denmark and Wales have met 11 times, with the Danes winning seven and the Welsh claiming four. No match between these nations has ever ended in a draw.

Denmark have won each of their last three meetings against Wales, including a resounding 4-0 victory at EURO 2020 in Amsterdam. Wales’ last victory over the Danes came in a November 2008 friendly, courtesy of a Craig Bellamy goal—the current Wales manager.

Denmark Form 🔵

Last 5 matches: L-W-L-D-W-L

Denmark’s opening defeat to Norway exposed defensive frailties, with two goals conceded inside the first 18 minutes. However, their home record remains exceptional: Denmark have lost only one of their last 22 matches on home soil, a 2-1 defeat to Spain in 2024. They have won 18 of the other 21 games.

Rasmus Hojlund scored in Oslo and arrives in Copenhagen having netted twice in five Serie A games for Napoli this season.

Wales Form ⚪

Last 5 matches: L-D-D-L-L

Wales are winless in their last five matches and have managed just two victories in their last 10 fixtures. The pressure is mounting on Bellamy, who was close to taking the Burnley job in the summer.

The Welsh showed resilience against Portugal, limiting the hosts despite Joao Felix’s first-half winner. Only one of Wales’ last eight away matches has produced more than three goals.

Team News & Expected Lineups 📰

Denmark Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Jorgensen; Kristensen, Andersen, Provstgaard, Mæhle; Hjulmand, Højbjerg; Dorgu, Froholdt, Damsgaard; Højlund

Brian Riemer will be without Albert Grønbæk, who left the camp with an injury. The coach has decided not to call up a replacement, keeping his 23-man squad intact. Alexander Bah and Kasper Dolberg remain sidelined, while Mohamed Daramy is also unavailable.

Patrick Dorgu impressed as a right-sided attacker against Norway and is set to continue in that role, with Mikkel Damsgaard operating on the left.

Wales Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ward; Williams, Cabango, Davies, Dasilva; Ampadu, Sheehan; Brooks, Johnson, D. James; K. Moore

Craig Bellamy’s squad has been ravaged by injuries. Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill, and Isaak Davies are all unavailable.

Dan James may be introduced in place of Lewis Koumas in attack, while Brennan Johnson provides pace on the opposite flank.

Key Stats 📊

• Denmark home record: 18 wins from 22 home matches, with only Spain defeating them

• Wales winless run: 5 matches without a victory

• H2H record: 11 meetings, 7 Denmark wins, 4 Wales wins, 0 draws

• Wales BTTS rate: Both teams scored in just 29% of recent Wales matches

• Corners: 12 of Denmark’s last 14 matches produced 11+ corners

Tactical Analysis 📈

The match will be defined by Denmark’s need to impose their possession game against Wales’ defensive resilience.

Denmark will look to control proceedings through the midfield axis of Morten Hjulmand and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, with Hjulmand breaking up play and Højbjerg dictating tempo. Mikkel Damsgaard will be the creative fulcrum, drifting inside from the left to link with Højlund.

Wales are expected to sit compact and look to spring counter-attacks through Brennan Johnson and Dan James. Kieffer Moore provides a physical target for direct balls. However, without the creativity of Harry Wilson, the Welsh may struggle to create meaningful chances.

Denmark’s aerial threat from set-pieces—particularly through Andreas Christensen and Joachim Andersen—could prove decisive against a Wales defence missing its first-choice centre-back partnership.

Betting Analysis 💰

Result: Denmark Win

Goals: Under 3.5

Both Teams to Score: No

Denmark’s odds reflect their status as heavy favourites. The combination of Denmark’s home dominance and Wales’ attacking limitations makes Under 3.5 goals the standout selection. Wales have scored just once in their last three matches against Denmark.

Final Prediction 🏁

Denmark 2-0 Wales

Denmark’s remarkable home record, Wales’ extensive injury crisis, and the historical dominance in this fixture all point towards a comfortable home victory. While Wales showed resilience against Portugal, the absence of key creative players leaves them severely limited in attack.

Expect Denmark to control the game from the outset, with Højlund’s movement and Damsgaard’s creativity proving decisive against a makeshift Welsh defence.
