• Venue: Parken, Copenhague, Denmark

Denmark

Denmark is second in their Nations League group and trails Spain by only three points. However, after a successful start to the season, the 1-0 defeat against Spain impacted Denmark’s momentum. Denmark was also unable to secure a win in Switzerland, with the match ending in a 2-2 draw. The Swiss controlled the game at home, dominating both possession and chance creation.

Despite these setbacks, the Red and Whites are still expected to finish second, though any further slip-ups could jeopardize their position. Coach Brian Reimer took charge of Denmark on October 24, so tactical adjustments could be expected from the Danish side.

This will be Reimer’s first and most significant game so far. Denmark’s campaign concludes with a match against Serbia.

Christian Eriksen is likely to play after recovering from injury, and Rasmus Højlund, Kasper Dolberg, and Yussuf Poulsen will form the attack.

Spain

Spain currently leads their Nations League group group with ten points and is the only undefeated team. La Roja have only dropped points in a goalless draw against Serbia. 

Luis de la Fuente has made some changes to his lineup, unexpectedly calling up young Pau Cubarsí due to Pau Torres’s injury. De la Fuente’s preferred center-back pairing, Vivian and Paredes, remains intact, though Cubarsí could see game time in the coming matches. 

Rodri is sidelined with an ACL tear and is not expected to return before 2025, leaving a gap in Spain’s midfield. Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal is not included in the squad to prevent injury from excessive playing time.

The team also welcomes a new addition, Samu, who is currently on loan at FC Porto. His unique skill set, which Spain have lacked in recent years, arrives at a crucial moment. 

Previously playing for the U21 team, he will now join the senior squad. Another call-up, Barcelona’s Marc Casadó, joins as midfield depth but is likely to be behind Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi in the pecking order.

Pedro Porro is expected to start at right-back, while Marc Cucurella and Alex Grimaldo will compete for a start on the opposite flank.

Spain will face Switzerland in their final group-stage match. As the defending champions, La Roja will likely aim to retain their title.

Denmark vs Spain Prediction

• Prediction: Spain to win
• Odds: 1.785 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Denmark 1-2 Spain

In their previous encounter, Zubimendi scored the only goal, and Denmark has historically struggled to break down Spain’s defence. Denmark’s last victory over Spain dates back to 1993, a streak that underscores La Roja’s historical dominance in this matchup. 

With first place within reach, Luis de la Fuente is likely to push for a win to secure his lead and allow for squad rotation in the final group-stage match. Denmark will play their first match under the new coach, making it challenging to predict if he will adopt the team’s traditional philosophy.

Denmark vs Spain Betting Tip

• Pick: Samu to score
• Odds: 2.875 (22Bet)

With Alvaro Morata still recovering from injury, this game offers Samu a chance to step up as Spain’s focal point in attack. His unique ball-striking technique is highly valuable for Spain, which has lacked a forward of his profile. Unlike Morata, who excels in link-up play but occasionally falters as a primary scorer, Samu has the confidence and finishing touch to drive the offense on his own. 

Porto fans have been impressed by Samu’s performances, and his goal-scoring record has garnered praise from his Spain U21 teammates. With support from Dani Olmo, he is likely to receive ample opportunities to score.
