Event Preview

The knockout stages in the UEFA Nations League get underway this week, as the final four teams that will contest the 2025 finals will be determined by Sunday evening.

Portugal will be rightly among the leading contenders for the top prize, as they have continued to go from strength-to-strength under Roberto Martinez. In the group phase, Portugal won four of their six matches, scoring 13 goals and allowing just five.

In fact, their form over the last 12 months has been excellent, with their only defeat since the middle of June coming against Georgia when Martinez rested all of his star players.

Denmark will have the home field advantage for the first leg after finishing second in their Group A4 standings. The Danes narrowly outscored Serbia after winning just two of their six matches. Scoring goals has been a continued issue for Denmark after netting just seven during the group phase.

Their recent form would also be a major concern. Denmark have failed to win in their last four matches, and they have recorded just two victories across their last ten.

Denmark vs. Portugal Picks

At this point, Portugal look like a dark horse chance to win the World Cup next summer. We could see their momentum continuing throughout 2025, which includes making it to the Nations League finals. Therefore, we expect them to record wins in both legs against Denmark this week.
