Our prediction for the match Denmark vs Portugal
The teams did not particularly show themselves at last year’s Euro. Hjulmand’s footballers went there to rehabilitate themselves for the failure at the World Cup in Qatar. Still, all 3 matches of the group stage ended in a draw, and they immediately lost to the Germans in the play-offs – 0-2. Speaking about Roberto Martinez’s wards, that was the first tournament in his new position. Ronaldo and the company started with a couple of wins, and the defeat made by Georgia in the last round can be attributed to a lack of motivation. As for the play-offs, they decided to bet on the goalkeeper. If Diogo Costa did not concede even a penalty in the battle against Slovenia, then Maignan won the series for France at the 1/4 stage.
The Portuguese remain pretty good in the Nations League under the leadership of their current coach. They won all their first-lap matches. Speaking about the second one, they added only a 5-1 success in the game against the Poles, drawing with both Scotland and Croatia. One way or another, the team retained 1st place. The Danes, already without a full-fledged coach, started the autumn with victories over Switzerland and Serbia on the native field, but then lost twice to Spain. However, having drawn in St. Gallen and Belgrade, the team retained 2nd place in the quartet.
On average, Eriksen and the company both score and concede 0.9 goals per meeting. The guests have got a more convincing ratio – 1.6/0.7.
