Denmark have won their last three matches against Wales: Denmark vs Wales prediction
The UEFA Nations League second-round clash between Denmark and Wales will take place on September 27 at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen. Both teams began the new campaign with defeats: Denmark lost 2-3 to Norway, while Wales suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat to Portugal.
Denmark: comeback not enough to avoid defeat in Norway
Denmark made a disastrous start to the opening round, conceding twice to Norway by the 18th minute. Brian Riemer’s side managed to fight their way back into the game and level the score at 2-2 just after the hour mark, but Erling Haaland’s second goal secured a 3-2 victory for the hosts.
The Danes will now play two consecutive matches at home — first against Wales and then against Portugal. Denmark have remained in League A for the fourth Nations League campaign in a row, while Rasmus Højlund should retain his place at the heart of the attack after scoring against Norway.
Wales: defeat, but performance against Portugal offers hope
Wales began their campaign with a 0-1 defeat to Portugal. João Félix scored the only goal in the first half, but Craig Bellamy’s team showed an organized performance and managed to create problems for their opponents.
The manager is facing selection issues. Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill and Isaac Davies are all sidelined through injury. There could also be a change in attack, with Dan James potentially starting in place of Lewis Koumas.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Denmark have won seven of their previous 11 matches against Wales.
- Wales have lost their last three head-to-head meetings with Denmark.
- The teams’ last meeting ended in a 4-0 win for Denmark at Euro 2020.
Home advantage could decide the outcome once again: Denmark vs Wales prediction
Both teams lost their opening matches by a narrow margin, so the clash in Copenhagen should be a tightly contested affair. At the same time, Denmark showed against Norway that they can fight their way back into a game even after a poor start, while home advantage should give them an extra boost of confidence.
Wales are capable of putting up a fight, especially if they maintain the same discipline they showed against Portugal. However, their injury problems and poor record in recent meetings with Denmark make the task considerably more difficult for the visitors.
