Portugal vs Denmark Preview & Tips

Portugal can stretch their winning run in the Nations League to five matches this week, although they will need to beat a Denmark side that are still in with a chance of topping the group if they win their final two group games.

Portugal have won and seen both sides score in their last three

Head To Head

In their last 10 meetings, Portugal have won six matches, Denmark have won three times and one game has ended as a draw.

Portugal Form

Portugal have stormed to the top of Nations League Group 4 on the back of four wins, 12 points and a perfect record so far.

Their 1-0 win over Wales in their opening game was not the most polished result, but they have since downed Norway in two 2-1 wins and Denmark 4-2. Their recent run has seen the Portuguese outscore their opposition consistently, but they will want to focus on trying to plug a leaky defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three.

With tougher games to come, Portugal will know that building a long winning run is crucial. I back them to secure a fifth successive win, but I do not back them to keep a clean sheet as their defence is beached for the fourth game on the bounce.

Denmark Form

Denmark can still catch Portugal at the top of Nations League Group 4, but they need everything to go their way in their final two matches.

Currently sat six points behind Portugal with six points, Denmark have beaten Wales twice (2-0 and 1-0) while they have lost to Denmark (3-2) and Portugal (4-2). This means that they have to win their penultimate match to stay in the hunt for top spot. A win means they will move to within three points of Portugal with one game to play.

However, Denmark are likely to struggle to match their hosts in this one, with their recent 4-2 home loss to the Portuguese showing the gap between the pair. While I back the away side to hit the back of the net, I do not see them securing the win they need.

Verdict

Portugal v Denmark

I am backing Portugal to beat Norway despite failing to keep a clean sheet once again.
