Overview
The Spanish team is still showing overwhelming strength after winning the championship at EURO 2024.
La Roja have won three and drawn one of their four Nations League games. They are almost certain to qualify for the group stage. Spain will secure top spot in Group 4 of League A if they avoid defeat to Denmark in their next game.
However, the upcoming match promises to not be easy because Spain is missing many important stars such as Rodri or Lamine Yamal.
On the other side of the front line, Denmark is also playing impressively in this year's Nations League. Their only defeat was a minimal defeat to Spain in the first leg.
In 2024, Denmark had 6 home matches and won 4, besides 2 draws. Therefore, Spain cannot underestimate their opponents.
With only a draw needed to maintain their top spot, La Roja may opt for a slow, ball-controlling style of play.
As for Denmark, they are 3 points ahead of 3rd-placed Serbia. Therefore, a draw is enough for them to maintain 2nd place before the final round takes place.
With both teams not wanting to lose, there is a high chance that 1 point will be shared equally between each team in this match.
Spain have won their last seven games against Denmark. However, two of their last four wins against Denmark have been by just one goal.
Human resources situation
Besides Rodri and Yamal, Spain are missing a number of key players such as Unai Simon, Dani Carvajal, Gavi and Pau Torres.
On the other side of the front line, Denmark received good news when Christian Eriksen returned from injury. Therefore, they will almost certainly have the strongest squad.
Expected lineup:
Denmark: Schmeichel, Andersen, Vestergaard, Nelsson, Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Dorgu, Eriksen, Hojlund, Gronbaek.
Spain: Raya, Porro, Vivian, Laporte, Cucurella, Zubimendi, Ruiz, Olmo, Pedri, N. Williams, Morata.
The match between Denmark and Spain takes place at 2:45 a.m. on November 16 (Vietnam time).
