Denmark vs Portugal Preview and Team News

Denmark Team News

Disappointingly, Denmark finished eight points behind Spain and second in their group in their Nations League campaign. 

Their successful first two matches (2-0 vs Switzerland, and 2-0 vs Serbia), were their only victories. The win against the Swiss was heavily imbalanced as the opposition finished the game with 9v11 players. Serbia still struggles to assemble a cohesive team.

Denmark fell to Spain 1-0, unable to create any threat to their goal net. The Spanish registered 25 shots and five big chances, while the Danes only recorded three shots in total. 

It took a rocket from Martin Zubimendi to decide the outcome in the 79th minute. The second encounter was better but still ended in a 1-2 defeat. It was an even match as Denmark played with a more balanced approach. 

The hosts finished their Nations League campaign with a 0-0 draw against Serbia, knowing that avoiding defeat would secure their qualification.

Andreas Christensen will miss the March break due to an injury.

Denmark predicted line-up vs Portugal (4-3-3): Schmeichel; Maehle, Vestergaard, Andersen, Roerslev; Nörgaard, Højbjerg, Eriksen; Damsgaard, Hojlund, Biereth.

Portugal Team News

Portugal had an almost flawless Nations League campaign in the group stages, remaining undefeated in six matches. They topped their group with 14 points, six ahead of 2nd-placed Croatia. They won their first three games, securing the top spot, but were complacent in the last three events.

The Portuguese side dominated possession against Scotland with 70% and 14 shots but managed to create only one big chance. It’s the same statistic as their opponents, despite Scotland only registering four nets in total. 

In their last encounter, Portugal dropped points again against Croatia (1-1). They had already secured first place, while their rivals needed the three points to qualify. Joao Felix opened the scoring but Gvardiol equalized in the second half. The Croatians dominated the match after the half-time break. 

Portugal Predicted line-up vs Denmark (4-3-3): José Sá; Nuno Mendes, Dias, A.Silva, Dalot; Vitinha, Palhinha, Fernandes; Leão, Ronaldo, B.Silva

Denmark vs Portugal Prediction

• Prediction: Portugal to win
• Odds: 2.18 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Denmark 1-2 Portugal

Portugal qualified comfortably from a relatively weak group and are the favourites to win against the Danes this Thursday. Although the visitors might have a more cohesive team, they lack the individual quality to match the hosts’ firepower.

With Andreas Christensen injured, Denmark’s defense will be weaker. With multiple Portugal players in top form—Vitinha, Fernandes, and Nuno Mendes—they are expected to win the event. 

Denmark vs Portugal Betting Tip

• Pick: Cristiano Ronaldo to score

Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticized for his move to Al-Nassr, with fans believing he went there for money. Although the move was a major breakthrough for Middle-Eastern football, even local fans have started to criticise the Portuguese. Al-Nassr’s supporters have been attending fewer and fewer games. 

However, it’s a different story with Portugal. Ronaldo, the veteran who leads the country, remains the most respected footballer. With Denmark struggling defensively without Christensen, Ronaldo will receive plenty of service from Vitinha and Leão. This should ensure Ronaldo gets enough chances in the box despite his age.
