Spain – Denmark: Initial situation
It feels unreal that these two teams have not played against each other for 16 years, or to be more precise, since Lamine Yamal was still learning how to walk. Now the Spanish teenager is one of the best players in the world and the key man in the Luis de la Fuente’s lineup. Spain looks unbeatable at the moment, but Denmark has proved many times that they are playing their best game against the top teams in the world.
Spain Stats & Form
Spain has an impressive season coming off winning the title at the 2022 EURO when they eliminated one by one, the best teams in the continent. Head coach Luis de la Fuente was doubted by many and he silenced a lot of people after his team’s performance in Germany. Lamine Yamal is a definition of a wunderkind as the teenager has taken over the football world by storm. Spain is coming off a impressive 4-1 win on the road against Switzerland, with PSG’s Fabian Ruiz scoring twice. In the opening game of the Nations league schedule, “La Roha” played 0-0 against Serbia on the road. That was the only time in their last 11 games for Spain not to win and the only time in the last 21 games to fail to score a single goal.
Denmark Stats & Form
Denmark is on top of the Nations League group with a perfect record after two rounds without allowing a single goal. The Red and Whites started the competition with a 2-0 home win against Switzerland and the same result was on the scoreboard after Serbia paid them a visit. That was the right way to bounce back after they lost 2-0 in the round of 16 against Germany at the 2024 EURO. Interestingly, Denmark made it through to the knock-out stage after playing a draw in all three games in the group stage against Slovenia, England and Serbia. Now, they have five wins, four draws and one loss in the last ten games and eight of those ten have ended under 2.5 goals in total.
Spain – Denmark: Head to Head
Spain and Denmark have played 14 times before. The Spaniards have been way more successful with 11 wins, while Denmark has won only once and two games have ended in a tie. The last time they met was in a friendly game back in 2008 when Spain won 3-0, which was their fourth consecutive win in the head-to-head matchups. Denmark’s only win against Spain came in the qualifiers for the 1994 FIFA World Cup when the score was 1-0. Four of the last six games between these two have ended under 2.5 goals in total.
Spain – Denmark Odds
Spain is a major favorite going into this game with the odds of 1,41 in their favor. If you bet on Denmark to win on the road, the odds are 8,30 while the draw is at 4,85. The total goal line is set at 2.5 with 1.77 for over and 2.12 for under.

Betting tip and prediction: Spain – Denmark (12.10.2024)
Once again Spain has proven that they are a factory for young football talent after a building a new team from scratch that won the EURO earlier this year. What looks scary is the fact that this team has yet to reach its full potential and we can expect to see them dominate the world of football for the rest of the decade. But before they do that, they will host Denmark in the third round of the Nations League. This is a huge game for both teams as Denmark is on top of the standings with two-point advantage over Spain. That puts the pressure on the home team that needs to win in order to take over the top spot, while Denmark will most likely be happy even with a draw. Denmark is a real example of how a team should look on the pitch and it seems like they are perfectly coordinated on every spot. Spain will have the majority of the possession in this game but they may need some time before they score. Given Denmark’s ability to defend, we are expecting a low scoring game with under 2.5 goals in total.
