Denmark vs Spain prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 15, 2024
One of the matchups in the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League group stage will take place on Friday in Copenhagen, where Denmark will host Spain. I suggest placing a bet on the number of goals in this match, with promising chances of success.
Match Preview
Denmark is currently competing in this Nations League under the guidance of interim coach Morten Wieghorst, and their performances at the start were promising. In September, the "Danish Dynamite" won both of their home matches convincingly, topping their group in League A. However, October proved less successful for the team. In two away matches, they earned only one point.
First, in Murcia, Denmark faced Spain and, despite their efforts, lost 0-1. Then, they played in Switzerland, where they equalized twice but ultimately ended the match in a 2-2 draw. Despite these setbacks, Denmark currently sits in second place in the group table, trailing Spain by three points and ahead of Serbia by the same margin.
Spain demonstrated once again this summer in Germany that they are one of Europe’s top teams. Notably, "La Roja" won the Nations League previously and now lead the new edition of the tournament. Young talents like Pedri and Gavi provide freshness and dynamism, while experienced players such as Sergio Busquets and Dani Carvajal maintain control over the game.
Spain’s tournament start was a bit underwhelming, as they drew 0-0 with Serbia. However, everything fell into place afterward. In October, playing at home, Spain defeated Denmark 1-0, scoring the winner late in the match, and a few days later, they convincingly beat Serbia 3-0 away, leaving their opponents without a chance.
Probable Lineups
- Denmark: Schmeichel; Christensen, Vestergaard, Nelson; Ba, Hjulmand, Højbjerg, Christiansen; Eriksen, Højlund, Poulsen
- Spain: Raya, Grimaldo, Laporte, Vivian, Porro, Ruiz, Subimendi, Pedri, Oyarzabal, Morata, Yamal
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- Spain dominates the head-to-head record, having won seven of the last eight encounters with Denmark
- Denmark last defeated Spain in 1993
- In three of the last five matches, the bet on "Both teams to score – No" was successful
Prediction
We believe this game won’t be a goal-scoring spectacle. With so much at stake, even a single goal could decide the outcome. Our bet is "Under 2.5 goals" with odds of 1.80.
