Spain take on the visitors Denmark in the round 3 match of UEFA Nations League group stage. The match will be played on Saturday, October 12th at Estadio Enrique Roca (Murcia).
Spain is back to its peak under this coach. After their "golden period" from 2008 to 2012, the "Furia Roja" mainly struggled. Luis Enrique did have a good result during the last Euro, reaching the semifinals, though the performances were lackluster. However, their World Cup 2022 campaign was extremely underwhelming. After returning from Qatar, Spain brought in a new coach, Luis de la Fuente. He immediately delivered results, winning the Nations League final against Croatia on penalties. Last summer, Spain not only continued to win but also showed a bright, attacking style, securing victory at the Euros. Only Germany managed to push the match into extra time, where Merino eventually scored. Spain began their Nations League campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw in Belgrade against Serbia, a clear underdog in the group. But then, they thrashed Switzerland 4-1. However, the team now faces significant squad issues, from Unai Simón to Morata being unavailable. Still, the coaching staff has plenty of strong options for replacements.

The "Danish Dynamite" bid farewell to the respectable era of Kasper Hjulmand this summer. His tenure will be remembered primarily for the dramatic story of Eriksen’s collapse during Euro 2020 and Denmark’s subsequent run to the semifinals. But after that came failure at the World Cup, where Denmark couldn’t get out of the group. While they avoided such embarrassment at the Euros, they didn’t impress either, drawing all their group games against England, Slovenia, and Serbia. They still managed to advance to the round of 16, only to lose 0-2 to Germany. Following this, Kasper left, and a new head coach has yet to be appointed. Even without a permanent coach, Denmark won 2-0 against both Serbia and Switzerland in September. However, those were home matches, and the upcoming games will be more challenging.
Spain has won 11 of their last 14 meetings, with the Scandinavians only winning once. The "Furia Roja" will look to justify their status as clear favorites. However, Denmark is aware of Spain's squad issues and will aim to capitalize. Betting on "over 2.5 goals" seems like a reasonable choice.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
