Dinamarca vs España: Crucial UEFA Nations League Clash in Copenhague

The highly anticipated match between Denmark and Spain in the UEFA Nations League is set to take place on Friday, November 15, at the Parken Stadion in Copenhague. This encounter is part of the fifth matchday in Group 4 of the League A, with Spain currently leading the group with 10 points and Denmark in second place with 7 points[2][4].

Spain, under the management of Luis de la Fuente, has already secured their spot in the quarterfinals but aims to ensure they finish first in the group. A draw would mathematically guarantee Spain the top spot, while a loss by one goal would still keep them in contention for the first place, provided they win against Switzerland in the final matchday. However, if Spain loses by more than one goal, they would depend on Denmark’s results in the last matchday[2][5].

The Spanish team faces significant absences, including key players like Unai Simón, Rodri, Carvajal, Le Normand, and Lamine Yamal. These absences will force De la Fuente to make adjustments, with David Raya expected to start in goal and a defensive line featuring Pedro Porro, Aymeric Laporte, and Dani Vivian. In midfield, Martín Zubimendi and Mikel Merino will be crucial, while the attack is likely to feature Dani Olmo, Álex Baena, and possibly Ayoze Pérez or Álvaro Morata, who are recovering from injuries[3][4].

Dinamarca, under new coach Brian Reimer, is looking to complicate Spain’s path. The Danish team will adopt an aggressive tactical approach, using a 3-5-2 formation and relying on attackers like Hojlund and Dolberg. Despite historical statistics favoring Spain, Dinamarca has a strong home record, having won 16 of their last 20 matches at home[3][4].

The match will kick off at 20:45 hours (CET) and will be broadcast on La 1 of TVE, as well as available online through RTVE Play and the RTVE website[2][4].
