After winning the UEFA Nations League last year, Spain continued with great results and secured their fourth EURO title in dominant fashion. But they didn't stop there, as they continued their good performances in the UEFA Nations League, winning four points in two rounds against Serbia and Switzerland. Even though many expected all six points, they looked really good and objectively deserved to win both games. For the upcoming games, some of their great players are not called due to injuries, but Spain is still the favorite to win at home against every national team in Europe and the world.
Denmark are #20 on the FIFA World Ranking List and #11 in the European region. They regularly appear in major tournaments but haven't had much success lately. In the World Cup in Qatar, they won just one point, while they finished EURO in the 1/8 FInals but haven't had a win in the tournament. Still, they started the UEFA Nations League on the right foot and are in 1st place with six points after beating Serbia and Switzerland 2:0. With a potential good result, they would massively increase their chance of reaching the next stage of the competition.
Spain vs Denmark pick: Spain to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
Spain are on a fantastic streak, winning ten (one after ET) out of 11 games in all competitions. Considering that they faced the best European teams, such as France, Germany, Croatia, and Italy, it is a fantastic record.
Denmark started the competition well, with two wins in two games. Still, one of those wins were against Serbia, which have been terrible under coach Dragan Stojkovic for a while now. And the second win was against Switzerland, but only because Switzerland received a red card. Before that red card, it was an equal match at best.
Traditionally, Spain had very few problems against Denmark, winning the last four h2h games and covering the -1.5 AH spread in the last two games.
Considering the previous h2h games, the difference in quality, and the home-pitch advantage, we believe Spain should secure another comfortable win.

Spain team news
Several big names are not called due to injuries: Nico Williams, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Rodri, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Unai Simon, and Ferran Torres. Still, Spain have so many options that it shouldn't affect the team too much.
In recent days, there has been information that coach de la Fuente is unhappy with the federation not offering a new contract. The coach said that he has the same wage as when he transitioned from the U21 team, even though he won the UEFA Nations League and EURO.

Denmark team news
Just like Spain, Denmark will also have a few injured players: Christian Nørgaard, Andreas Christensen, and Mathias Jensen.
There is a strange situation regarding the Denmark national coach position. Morten Wieghorst was appointed as a caretaker manager, but when he was sick about a month ago, assistant coach Lars Knudsen replaced him. Because Denmark won both of their games under Lars Knudsen, he will have the opportunity to coach at least two of the next games.
