Denmark vs Portugal Prediction

Denmark's national football team had a mixed run in their Nations League campaign, as they finished second in their respective group last year.

The hosts have managed only a couple of wins in their last matches across all competitions.

Portugal's national football team has made a brilliant run in the Nations League campaign and is unbeaten in their last six matches. Roberto Martinez's men are aiming to become the first national team to win the Nations League twice and are expected to come out on top against the Danes. A Selecao breezed their way to the knockout rounds and is a leading title contender this year.

Predicted Score: Denmark 3-1 Portugal
