Denmark vs Spain Match Preview
Denmark is coming to this encounter with a strong squad and new coach, Brian Riemer. The pivotal role will be played by Manchester United stars Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen, together with Olympique Marseille’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. No new injuries are reported, so Denmark’s squad is ready for the challenge.
Spain, otherwise known as La Furia Roja, will have to do without the injured Rodri of Manchester City, but fresh energy is instilled into the team courtesy of Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal, who returns after a slight injury. Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, and Ayoze Perez also return, making the already-strong lineup of Spain even stronger. The previous time these two teams met in this Nations League campaign, Spain managed to pip Denmark 1-0, courtesy of the winner by Martin Zubimendi. Spain, led by their experience and technical style of play, are one of those teams that many clubs would not want to be matched with.
Key Players to Watch
Highlighted Player: Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen is an attacking midfielder from Denmark, commonly known for his vision, passing accuracy, and game management. Having managed over 200 games combined for Ajax and Tottenham Hotspur, Eriksen has been very instrumental in the international success of Denmark. He was an influential player since his debut for the national team in 2010.
Highlined Team: Spain
For a long time, Spain has always been a powerhouse on the international stage, with their tiki-taka style under Vicente Del Bosque. Inspired by Barcelona, the style won Spain three successive international titles between 2008 and 2012. Today, Spain is dominant with a lineup full of technical talent, such as Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo carrying the torch left behind by Spanish legends Xavi, Iniesta, and David Silva.
Head-to-Head: Denmark vs Spain
Spain has dominated Denmark more often than not in recent meetings, coming out on top in a very competitive 1-0 victory in the latest matchup. The style of play adopted by Spain, focusing on possession and heavy attacking, makes them slightly better despite Denmark’s home advantage.
Prediction: Denmark vs Spain
Given that both teams have near equal form and squad depth, this will likely be a tight encounter. Technical skill and recent head-to-head advantage all favor Spain going into the match, hence our prediction for a 2-1 Spanish win. Denmark will fight in earnest to make sure that does not happen, but Spain’s attacking lineup may prove difficult to keep at bay.
Final Prediction: Spain to win 2-1.
