Wales slipped to a 2-0 loss in Denmark last Sunday but have a chance to settle the score when the two teams reconvene in Cardiff this weekend.

Craig Bellamy’s Dragons endured a tough start to their Nations League bid following back-to-back defeats in Portugal and then Copenhagen, but a 2-1 win over 10-man Norway has put them right back in contention for a top-two finish in a group in which three teams are locked on three points.

Denmark have also lost to Portugal and Norway so Sunday’s second meeting between these sides feels like a key clash in a finely poised group.

Team news

Bellamy has rotated his Wales side over the course of their three Nations League games so far but there have been a few constants. Danny Ward, Neco Williams, Ethan Ampadu and Ben Davies should all retain their starting spots, while Brennan Johnson and Josh Sheehan are among those pushing for recalls.

David Brooks has missed the last two games and has withdrawn from the squad.  

Denmark manager Brian Riemer has largely stuck with a more settled side but he did make a change for the last game as goalkeeper Mads Hermansen replaced Filip Jorgensen. The West Ham keeper may continue in goal for the clash in Cardiff.

Prediction

Wales slipped to a 2-0 defeat in Copenhagen when these sides met a week ago but Bellamy’s side are far stronger on home soil and can avenge that loss with a win of their own.

The Welsh picked up a much-needed win over Norway in their last game, admittedly benefiting from a red card early in the second half for the Norwegians.

However, Wales were very much in the game prior to that dismissal and their first-half performance against Norway, a stronger team than Denmark, suggests they can pick up the points against a side who tend to struggle on their travels.

Daniel James should retain his Wales starting spot after his goal against Norway and he looks a contender to either score or assist. James has struggled for game time at Leeds this season but has a strong record for his country with four goals and one assist in his last nine competitive games.

Mikkel Damsgaard has scored two goals in three games for Denmark during the international break and has had seven shots in total. The Brentford midfielder should at least be able to test the Welsh keeper on Sunday. 

Score prediction: Wales 2-0 Denmark

Back Wales to win, Daniel James to score or assist, Mikkel Damsgaard over 0.5 shots on target at 15/1 LiveScore Bet.
