Overview
Both Spain and Denmark have a favorable start in the Nations League in the 2024-2025 season. Denmark temporarily led the rankings after defeating Serbia and Switzerland, thereby winning 6 points.
Meanwhile, the EURO 2024 champions are right behind with 4 points, including a draw against Serbia on the opening day. Therefore, the result of this match will have a big impact on the situation of winning 2 tickets to the next round of Group 4 League A.
On the scale, Spain is of course the team that is rated higher. La Roja has just won the EURO 2024 championship with a convincing style of play. Denmark is not an easy opponent, but compared to Spain, they are still inferior in many aspects.
It is worth noting that Spain plays quite stable at home.
Spain also have a good record against Denmark in recent years. La Roja are unbeaten in their last seven games against Denmark. In that run, which spans over 30 years, Spain have won six and drawn one against their opponents.
Denmark's last win over Spain came in 1993. However, they have never beaten Spain on their home turf.
