Ahead of Matchday 5 in the Nations League, Spain has already secured their spot in the quarterfinals, while Denmark still has some work to do to achieve the same result.
Despite their recent 2-2 draw at home against Switzerland, Denmark is very close to locking down second place ahead of Serbia and the Swiss. A victory in this match would guarantee their place in the knockout stages, but it’s likely that the Danish team would also be content with a draw.
As for reigning European champions Spain, they’ve cruised through this qualification phase. A rock-solid defense, having conceded just one goal, has played a major part in their success. Their only real motivation now is to maintain the top spot and secure a more favorable opponent in the knockout round
Denmark vs Spain pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
This match carries much more importance for the Danish national team, but regardless, Spain always fields a strong side that loves to compete, and this time will be no different. In their first encounter in Murcia, Spain secured a 1-0 victory. Denmark wasn’t bad in that match, but they'll need a much greater effort to achieve a favorable result here.
For the home side, it's crucial not to concede an early goal, and we don't expect them to push too hard for a quick strike. Spain, on the other hand, has no reason to attack aggressively from the outset, so this game could easily settle into a slower rhythm. Given that, an under 2.5 goals bet looks like a solid option.

Denmark team news
Brian Riemer, recently appointed as Denmark's new manager, will oversee the team for the first time in their upcoming match. However, Denmark is dealing with several injury issues, particularly in defense. Key players like Joakim Maehle from Atalanta and Leeds United's Rasmus Kristensen are unavailable, along with Mohammed Daramy, who is also sidelined. As a result, Denmark has had to adjust its lineup, with Kasper Schmeichel likely to start in goal and a defense featuring Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Nelsson
