·2 min read·By Denver

Denmark face Wales in Nations League Group A4 on Sunday 27 September - kick-off, team news and a prediction for the Parken clash.

Denmark and Wales meet in Group A4 of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, with both sides trying to answer for losses in their opening fixtures of this league phase.

  • Fixture: Denmark vs Wales
  • Competition: UEFA Nations League
  • Kick-off: Sunday, 27 September 2026 at 17:00 BST
  • Venue: Parken Stadium, Copenhagen

Full details on the match page, and the rest of the weekend's games are listed on the live match list.

What is Denmark's team news for the Wales game?

Denmark go into this one without several first-choice players, with Kasper Dolberg, William Osula, Christian Eriksen, Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard and Alexander Bah all out and Albert Gronbaek a doubt. Manager Brian Riemer has called up Anton Gaaei and Mohamed Daramy to cover the gaps.

The results have been mixed. Denmark lost 3-2 away to Norway on 24 September, drew 0-0 with DR Congo in a June friendly, and were beaten 5-3 by Czechia in World Cup qualifying in March. Four days before that defeat they beat North Macedonia 4-0, so the form has swung heavily either way rather than settling into a pattern.

What is Wales's team news for this match?

Craig Bellamy's options are also stretched. Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, Nathan Broadhead, Karl Darlow, Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill and Isaak Davies are all unavailable. Ben Cabango needs a late fitness check after picking up a knock in the defeat to Portugal, and Chris Mepham is ready to come in alongside Ben Davies if he doesn't make it.

Wales lost 1-0 in Portugal on 24 September to open their own Nations League campaign. Before that came a 2-1 defeat to Romania in June, a 1-1 draw with Ghana, a 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland in March, and a 3-5 defeat to Bosnia & Herzegovina in World Cup qualifying. The 1-0 loss to Portugal was arguably the tightest of that run.

Where this leaves Group A4

Both teams opened their Nations League group with a defeat, so neither arrives with anything banked. Denmark's absences are concentrated further forward, with two of their senior strikers missing. Wales's are concentrated at the back, with a first-choice centre-back pairing and a goalkeeper all out and a second centre-back only a fitness test away from joining them.

Denmark vs Wales prediction

Denmark should beat Wales at Parken Stadium in this UEFA Nations League Group A4 meeting. Wales have lost their two most difficult fixtures of the year by three or more goals, and their defensive absences are more direct than Denmark's attacking ones, with Cabango's fitness still unresolved before kick-off. Denmark's home form has been unreliable enough this year that a comfortable margin doesn't look likely either.

Our prediction: Denmark 2-1 Wales
