UEFA Nations, played Friday, November 15th, 2024
Here is our Denmark v Spain tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Spain away win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Next up is this top-of-the-table clash in Group 4 of League A between second placed Denmark and the group leading visitors, Spain, when the two teams face off at Parken in Copenhagen in what looks like being a straight shoot-out for top spot but also a place in the quarter-finals of this season's Nations League competition.
Two wins and a draw have helped the Danes into possible contention for a place in the quarter-finals following important wins against Switzerland and Serbia both in 2-0 victories along with picking up a point in a 2-2 draw away from home against the Swiss.
However, standing in their way are the current European champions, Spain, who have already inflicted a 1-0 home win against Denmark earlier in the group stage, and whom occupy top spot in the Group 4 table.
The wider picture though does give Denmark some hope as the upcoming hosts have slipped to just two defeats in their last 12 internationals overall but having collected just two wins from their last eight games, Denmark may struggle to gain the upper hand over a strong Spanish outfit here on Friday night.
Nevertheless, Denmark are unbeaten in their last 16 internationals on home soil.
Spain still remain unbeaten after their opening four games in the group stage as the visitors have registered important wins against Switzerland, Denmark and Serbia, along with a point in their opening game away from home at Serbia in a rather dour 0-0 stalemate.
Regardless, Spain are at the summit of the Group 4 table where they hold a three-point cushion over their second placed opponents ahead of this upcoming encounter at Parken and Luis de la Fuente's side also bring a commanding 14-game unbeaten sequence in all competitions into this clash.
12 wins within these 14 internationals, one of which went to penalties against Germany in the recent Euro 2024 finals, underlines Spain's dominance on the international scene, particularly in Europe and their 4-1 thumping of Switzerland on the road earlier in the group stage serves as a serious warning for the Danes here.
In addition, Spain have lost just three of their previous 16 internationals on the road in all competitions and having collected no fewer than 11 wins within this period as well, La Roja look to be the overwhelming favourites to grab another three points here on their way to securing a place in the quarter-finals.
Denmark v Spain Verdict
Spain's dominance over Denmark is reflected by the fact that they have won seven of the last eight meetings against the Danes and an eighth win in nine games therefore looks to be on the cards here on Friday night.
Therefore, our main bet will be Spain win @ 1.72
Other side bets worth considering:
Spain win & Under 2.5 goals @ 3.75
Correct Score: Spain 1-0 @ 6.50
