Portugal vs Denmark prediction and betting tips on March 23, 2025
Game Prediction
A return match of the national teams of Portugal and Denmark will take place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League on March 23, 2025. Roberto Martinez’s team needs revenge after a minimal away defeat.
Our prediction for the match Portugal vs Denmark
The Portuguese have been playing under the leadership of Roberto Martinez since 2023. They confidently entered the Euro, and reached the quarter-finals there. Still, if Diogo Costa won the penalty shoot-out with Slovenia after a goalless draw, then Maignan did not allow him to repeat this trick with the French. The Danes failed at the World Cup after a dramatic Euro 2020. Hjulmand was given the opportunity to work at last year’s continental championship. There, 3 draws allowed the team to reach the play-offs, but the Germans were waiting there, and the team was beaten by them – 0-2.
It is curious that the current Danish coach, Riemer, has not won either. The fact is that the specialist was appointed in mid-autumn, and Eriksen and the company took both of their victories in September (in the home battles against Switzerland and Serbia). Then they drew with those opponents and lost twice to Spain. One way or another, the team remained in 2nd position. The Portuguese, on the contrary, have not lost in the Nations League. Moreover, they won twice against Poland, and gave Scotland and Croatia a draw on the away field, ultimately confidently becoming the first in the quartet. The guests, despite the fact that Diogo Costa parried a penalty from Eriksen, snatched a victory in the end of the meeting in Copenhagen.
Ronaldo and the company score an average of 1.3 goals, conceding 0.8 goals in response. Schmeichel and his partners had a balance of goals – 0.9 goals are both scored and conceded (now it has become slightly positive).
