Denmark take on the visitors Spain in the round 5 match of UEFA Nations League group stage. The match will be played on Friday, November 15th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Denmark squad has been under the guidance of Hjulmand for quite a while, experiencing some highs, such as the dramatic Euro 2020, where they lost Eriksen in the first match but still made it to the semifinals. However, the World Cup in Qatar was a disappointment. Afterward, Hjulmand led the team to the summer continental championship, but they fell flat, managing only draws in the group stage and then an inevitable exit against Germany. Following that, the coach left, and Denmark took time to find a suitable successor. Without a head coach, they started powerfully in September, beating both Switzerland and Serbia at home. But last month saw only a narrow loss to Spain and a draw in St. Gallen with an exchange of goals. Finally, Reimer has returned to lead the national team, debuting in this game.

Spain remains strong, though possibly less motivated. The “Furia Roja” was handed to de la Fuente with a true “hunger” for major successes — since the golden era from 2008 to 2012, it’s mostly been disappointments, including a lackluster performance at the World Cup in Qatar. However, de la Fuente won the Nations League within six months of his appointment. Then, in Germany this summer, Spain looked like the undisputed champions and still largely retain that form. They’ve had only one minor setback, starting the Nations League with a 0-0 draw in Serbia. Since then, they’ve defeated all opponents at least once, securing a spot in the playoffs. Yet many players may have their minds on the aftermath of severe rains back home — will they be able to fully focus on the game?
In over a century of meetings, these teams have played 15 matches, with Denmark winning only once. Spain has won the last five encounters. The visitors are considered favorites again. However, a more pragmatic choice might be to go with “under 2.5 goals” for total goals in the match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
