Denmark - Wales team news and expert analysis
Denmark failed to qualify for the World Cup. In the final round, they lost to Scotland and handed them top spot in the group. Then, in March, after a commanding win over North Macedonia in the playoff, they lost to the Czech Republic on penalties following a 2-2 draw. The summer brought a series of friendlies: after a goalless draw with DR Congo, they were leading Ukraine but did not finish the match due to renewed problems involving Eriksen. Against neighboring Norway, they came from behind after conceding the first two goals, but then conceded again to Haaland and lost 2-3.
Wales have failed to qualify for a second major tournament in a row, following an identical script: they once again lost a playoff on penalties, this time against Bosnia. Their subsequent friendly results were also disappointing: draws with Northern Ireland and Ghana, followed by a defeat to Romania. On Thursday, they offered no response to João Félix's goal against Portugal.
The Scandinavians score 2.4 goals per game and concede 1.2. The British side averages 1.4 goals scored and 1.5 conceded.
