UEFA Nations League

Venue: Telia Parken.

Match preview

Denmark won two and drew two of their four group games against Wales and the Republic of Ireland in the 2018-19 UEFA League of Nations to ensure that they will be promoted to League A.

The Red and Whites will face a much higher level of opposition this time, and it remains to be seen how they perform in a group that also included England and Iceland.


Kasper Hjulmand's side will be present at next summer's European Championship, after claiming second place in Group D behind Switzerland, who remained unbeaten in their eight games.


Denmark is actually unbeaten in their last 15 games in all competitions, while it is, but they have lost six of their previous 13 meetings with the Belgian international.

Belgium which is a pity to miss a place in the semi-final of the UEFA 2018-19 League of Nations because they actually won three of their four group matches against Switzerland and Iceland.


A 5-2 loss to Switzerland in their final group match means that they do not go forward, though, and the Europeans may feel that they have some unfinished business in this competition.


Roberto Martinez's side, who will take on Iceland in the next match on September 8, breezed through their 2020 Euro qualifying group, winning all 10 games for 30 points.

The Red Devils have actually won every game since losing to Switzerland back in November 2018, and there is no question that they are now one of the most talented international team on the planet.

Denmark vs Belgium: Predictions

Martinez man has seemingly unstoppable lately. They have scored goals for fun, and they are determined to make something out of a large pool of talent that they have.


They are included in the same group as England, and The Three Lions take on Iceland this weekend, and will be expected to win. Thus, Hazard and his men have no other choice but to secure all three points on Saturday.


In addition, after being denied entry to the finals on goal difference to them, the man Martinez will be eager to score a lot as well. And for a team that scored 40 goals in their 10 matches in the Qualification, found the back of the net against Dynamites will not be a big task.


Happened, they were in the top ten winning run, and ignoring the strange loss against Switzerland in the inaugural edition of the League of Nations, and a 1-0 loss against France in the semi-finals of the World Cup, this team has not lost in the past four years.


On the other hand, their colleagues might settle for less, because they have not had the chance to take on any good team once in the past.


Considering all these observations, expect the performance of the winner of this weekend's Belgian.
