Wales vs Denmark Preview: Can Bellamy's Wales Finally Beat the Danes in Cardiff?

Wales have not beaten Denmark in a competitive game for years, and the last time they won against them at all was a friendly in November 2008. Since then, the Danes have won every meeting. Today, Craig Bellamy's side get another chance to change that story, in front of their own supporters. Wales vs Denmark is a Group 4 fixture in UEFA Nations League A, and it is the return leg of the clash played in Copenhagen on 27 September. Below you'll find the kick-off details, form, history and our prediction, plus the Wales vs Denmark match page on score808 if you want to follow the game online.

The Group: Portugal, Denmark, Norway and Wales

Group 4 is one of the toughest in the competition, with the reigning champions Portugal and a rising Norway alongside Wales and Denmark. Only the top two teams advance to the quarter-finals. Both sides started with defeats on 24 September: Wales lost 1-0 to Portugal, while Denmark lost 3-2 to Norway. Wales then travelled to Denmark on 27 September and hosted Norway on 1 October, so check the live table for how that run went.

Wales Preview: Bellamy's Side Back in League A

Wales earned promotion from League B in 2024-25, and this is their return to the top tier under Craig Bellamy. The step up has been steep. One form guide lists Wales without a win in their last five completed matches, with three goals scored and seven conceded. Another source shows a more balanced record of one win, two draws and two defeats, so form guides differ.

Wales do have attacking talent. Fotmob credits Harry Wilson as the team's standout performer this season with five goals, and Sorba Thomas as the chief creator with five assists. With a home crowd behind them in Cardiff, those two could be key.

Denmark Preview: Brian Riemer's Experienced Group

Denmark are in their fourth straight Nations League campaign in League A, and they reached the quarter-finals last time before Portugal knocked them out. Before this window, Denmark's Nations League record stood at 12 wins, five draws and eight defeats from 25 matches. One form guide lists their last five completed matches as two wins, two draws and one defeat, with seven goals scored and five conceded.

Brian Riemer's side know how to handle matches against teams chasing them, and a trip to Cardiff is an opportunity to take points on the road.

Head-to-Head: Denmark Dominate

Denmark have won all of their recent meetings with Wales.

• June 2021: Denmark 4-0 Wales (Euro 2020, Amsterdam)
• 2018 Nations League B: Denmark 2-0 Wales
• 2018 Nations League B: Denmark 2-1 Wales
• November 2008: Wales win (friendly)

Wales have lost their last three matches against Denmark. This month's meeting in Copenhagen on 27 September adds a new chapter, so check the live score808 page for the result and how it shapes this game.

Key Battles to Watch

1. Wales' home atmosphere against Denmark's experience. Cardiff can lift Wales, but Denmark have handled hostile crowds before.

2. Wilson and Thomas against Denmark's defence. Wales' creative threats will need space to hurt the visitors.

3. Denmark's response to Norway. The opening loss means Riemer's side will not want to drop more points.

4. Lessons from Copenhagen. Both coaches have just seen each other's plans, so small adjustments could decide the game.

Prediction: Wales vs Denmark

Denmark's head-to-head record and experience make them slight favourites, but Wales at home, with a point to prove and attacking threats of their own, should keep this competitive. Our pick is a narrow Denmark win, though a draw would not be a surprise in Cardiff. Please gamble responsibly, and only where it is legal.
