Wales vs Denmark – News and Probable Lineups

Wales will be looking to secure consecutive victories in the UEFA Nations League as they face Denmark this Sunday evening in their 2026-27 campaign.

Craig Bellamy’s team currently sits at the bottom of Group 4 in League A with three points, while Denmark holds the second position in the group, also with three points after three matches.

Match overview

Wales achieved their first win in nearly a year on Thursday night, triumphing 2-1 against Norway. This result was particularly impressive for Bellamy’s squad as they rallied from a deficit to clinch the three points.

The Dragons began their Nations League campaign for 2026-27 with a 1-0 defeat against Portugal and then faced a 2-0 loss to Denmark at the end of September.

Despite their victory on Thursday, Bellamy’s team remains at the bottom of Group 4 in League A but is now level on points with both third-placed Norway and second-placed Denmark.

Historically, Wales has encountered Denmark 12 times before, achieving four victories and suffering eight losses against the Danes.

Currently, the Dragons are on a four-match losing streak against Denmark, with their last win in this matchup (1-0) occurring in a friendly back in November 2008.

Denmark will thus be maintaining an unbeaten streak against Wales stretching nearly two decades when they continue their Nations League journey this Sunday evening.

Brian Riemer’s team kicked off their 2026-27 Nations League campaign with a narrow 3-2 loss to Norway, followed by a 2-0 win over Wales at the end of September.

However, Denmark comes into this match following a defeat, having lost 4-2 at home to Portugal on Thursday night, leaving them with three points from three fixtures.

The Danes have registered 13 wins, five draws, and nine losses across their 27 Nations League encounters and are participating in their fourth consecutive tournament in League A.

Denmark still has three matches remaining in their Nations League group stage, including international fixtures against Portugal and Norway in November.

Team News

Wales will be without several key players during this international break, including Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill, and Isaak Davies due to injuries.

However, the Dragons displayed strong performance against Norway in their previous match, so Bellamy might opt to keep the starting lineup unchanged for the fixture against Denmark.

Daniel James is likely to retain his place on the left wing, while Lewis Koumas is expected to continue in a central role.

On the other hand, Denmark has reported no injuries from their encounter with Portugal, and there are no suspensions affecting their squad.

Consequently, no major surprises are anticipated in their starting XI for Sunday, with Morten Hjulmand likely to be a key figure in midfield.

Rasmus Hojlund has had a notable international window, scoring twice across three matches, and the former Manchester United forward should feature up front again.

Nevertheless, Patrick Dorgu was recently compelled to withdraw from the squad due to injury.

Wales probable starting XI:

Ward; Williams, Cabango, Davies, Dasilva; Ampadu, J James; D James, Cullen, Thomas; Koumas

Denmark probable starting XI:

Hermansen; Kristensen, Andersen, Proxgaard, Maehle; Wheelman, Hojbjerg; Daghim, Damsgaard, Daramy; Hojlund

Wales performed excellently against Norway, but this fixture against Denmark presents a significant challenge due to the Danes’ capabilities. A draw seems plausible for Sunday night, but it promises to be an exciting contest.
