Wales will meet Denmark away from home on Sunday in their next UEFA Nations League encounter at the Parken.
Denmark vs Wales – Match preview and team news
- Date: Sunday, 27th September.
- Kick-off: 5pm BST.
- Venue: Parken, Kobenhavn.
Denmark team news
Manager Brian Riemer must work around a few notable absences. The Danes are missing several squad members for this fixture, most notably forward Kasper Dolberg and striker William Osula, which reshapes their options in the final third.
Despite these injuries, the starting lineup retains plenty of attacking threat. Manchester United’s Patrick Dorgu is expected to operate as a right-sided attacker after putting in an impressive performance in their last outing.
He will link up with Mikkel Damsgaard, who is set to occupy the left wing, while Rasmus Højlund leads the line as the central striker following his recent goal.
In the middle of the pitch, the dependable duo of Morten Hjulmand and Victor Froholdt are highly likely to anchor the midfield.
Wales team news
Wales manager Craig Bellamy faces a much tougher selection headache with a heavily depleted squad following their loss to Portugal.
The Red Dragons are completely missing a long list of key players due to injuries, including Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill, and Isaak Davies.
Adding to their defensive concerns, centre-back Ben Cabango needs a late fitness test after picking up a knock in Lisbon; Chris Mepham stands ready to step into the defence alongside Ben Davies if Cabango fails to recover in time.
Looking for fresh energy to break down the Danish defence, Bellamy is considering several tactical rotations.
Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore is pushing hard for a starting spot upfront, while wingers Dan James and Sorba Thomas are strongly in contention to replace Lewis Koumas in the side.
Form
Denmark
Denmark enters this clash seeking consistency after a roller-coaster run in 2026. They kicked off their UEFA Nations League campaign with a thriller against Norway, narrowly losing 3-2 in Oslo. That result leaves the Danes with just one victory in their last six international outings—a 2-1 friendly win over Ukraine. Defensively, manager Brian Riemer faces challenges, as his side has now conceded three or more goals in four of their last five losses.
Wales
Wales travels to Copenhagen fighting out of a prolonged slump, currently remaining winless in their last five consecutive fixtures. They opened their Nations League campaign under Craig Bellamy with a fighting but frustrating 1-0 defeat to Portugal in Lisbon. Before that, the Red Dragons suffered a 2-1 friendly loss against Romania and ground out back-to-back 1-1 draws against Ghana and Northern Ireland earlier this year.
Predicted lineups
Denmark: Jorgensen; Kristensen, Andersen, Provstgaard, Maehle; Hjulmand, Hojbjerg; Dorgu, Froholdt, Damsgaard; Hojlund
Wales: Ward; Williams, Cabango, Davies, Dasilva; D James, Ampadu, Sheehan, Thomas; Johnson, Moore
