Denmark are a better team than Wales and have won the previous three contests between these nations.

Mikkel Damsgaard has become a key player for the Danes and can continue his goal scoring form.

Key Stats

Denmark have won 5 of their last 8 competitive home matches.
Mikkel Damsgaard has scored in 5 of his last 8 matches for Denmark.
Denmark have won their last 3 matches against Wales.
Wales have lost 4 of their last 6 away matches.

HTH

Denmark have won three straight matches to lead Wales 7-4 in the HTH. There has never been a draw.

The last meeting came in the Euro 2020 Round of 16, Kasper Dolberg scoring the opening two goals in a 4-0 victory.

Danes Keep it Close in Norway

Denmark narrowly missed out on qualifying for the World Cup after a 4-2 defeat in Scotland on the final matchday.

Brian Riemer’s side thrashed North Macedonia 4-0 in the playoffs before being taken to extra time by the Czech Republic. They went to a penalty shootout in Prague where they missed three spot kicks.

The Danes played two friendlies in June, starting with a 0-0 draw against DR Congo. Goals to Patrick Dorgu and Joakim Maehle established a 2-1 lead against Ukraine, the game abandoned in the 79th minute when Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch.

Denmark trailed 2-0 in Norway to start their UEFA Nations League campaign. Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Hojlund scored to tie the contest but they couldn’t stop Erling Haaland and lost 3-2 in a close contest.

Wales to Find it Tough in the Nations League

Wales went close to qualifying for the World Cup. They led Bosnia & Herzegovina 1-0 in Cardiff but couldn’t close it out, conceding in the 86th minute and losing the penalty shootout.

Craig Bellamy’s side turned their attention to friendlies, earning 1-1 draws against Northern Ireland, Ghana, and ending with a 2-1 defeat in Romania.

The Dragons lost 1-0 in Portugal in their Nations League opener. They were second best for most of the contest but went close to equalising late on, Lewis Koumas unable to convert a great chance.

Wales Squad, Team News & Predicted Line Up

Goalkeepers: Danny Ward, Tom King

Defenders: Ben Davies, Connor Roberts, Neco Williams, Chris Mepham, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Ben Cabango, Jay Dasilva, Jayden Lienou

Midfielders: Ethan Ampadu, Jordan James, Josh Sheehan, Liam Cullen, Wes Burns, Joel Colwill, Cameron Congreve

Forwards: Daniel James, Kieffer Moore, David Brooks, Brennan Johnson, Sorba Thomas, Mark Harris, Lewis Koumas, Cian Ashford

Defence is a problem with Joe Rodon out alongside Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio. Ben Cabango picked up an injury in Portugal and is set to be replaced by Chris Mepham.

Expect Bellamy to make changes here with Sorba Thomas, Kieffer Moore and Daniel James to start in attack.

Wales (4-3-3): Danny Ward; Neco Williams, Chris Mepham, Ben Davies, Jay Dasilva; Liam Cullen, Ethan Ampadu, Jordan James; Sorba Thomas, Kieffer Moore, Daniel James

Verdict

Denmark v Wales

Denmark have won three straight games against Wales and with home advantage, I expect that to be extended to four. Mikkel Damsgaard is scoring regularly at international level and can find the net again in Copenhagen.
