Two sides still hunting their first Nations League points collide at Parken, with Denmark vs Wales pitting the hosts against a Welsh outfit desperate to get off the mark.
Denmark arrive smarting from a 3-2 away defeat to Norway in their opener, a result that laid bare defensive flaws the hosts must patch up quickly on home soil.
Wales, meanwhile, will chase their first points after a battling 1-0 loss away to Portugal, a night that showed grit but little cutting edge in the final third.
Both teams are winless in the group so far, so this fixture in the UEFA Nations League carries real weight for two nations who cannot afford to fall further adrift.
Denmark vs Wales Form
Denmark head into this one having won just one of their last six international outings, a run that hardly screams authority. Their opener against Norway ended in a 3-2 defeat, with Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Højlund on the scoresheet. The attack looks lively enough, but the back line remains the obvious worry for the hosts.
Wales are winless in five international fixtures, so momentum is thin on the ground. They were comprehensively outshot 23-5 by Portugal, going down 1-0 to a João Félix strike. Craig Bellamy's side defended manfully but offered next to nothing going forward, and that lack of a spark up top is the pressing concern.
Denmark vs Wales Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Denmark: A. Christensen (Injured/out), J. Stage (Injured/out), W. Osula (Injured/out), K. Dolberg (Injured/out)
Wales: D. Lawlor (Injured/out), I. Davies (Injured/out), N. Broadhead (Injured/out), J. Rodon (Injured/out), B. Cabango (Injured/doubtful)
Denmark
Brian Riemer could recall Mads Bidstrup and Gustav Isaksen for the visit of Wales. The Danes have four players unavailable this weekend, including William Osula and Kasper Dolberg, so there is some reshuffling to be done up top.
Wales
Wales will check on centre-back Ben Cabango after he suffered an issue during the defeat to Portugal, with Chris Mepham on standby to replace the stricken Swansea defender. Dan James and Sorba Thomas could both step into the Welsh attack on Sunday.

Denmark vs Wales Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Denmark are clear favourites on home soil and look to have too much quality for a Wales side who have struggled for goals. The hosts' attack, led by Rasmus Højlund, looks the difference-maker, and our prediction is a Denmark win at Parken.
Best Bets
Denmark to win in the Match Result market against Wales. The hosts are the clear home favourites here, backed by superior form rankings, home advantage at Parken and a strong recent record against the Welsh. Wales's blunt attacking display in Lisbon does little to suggest they can spring a surprise.
Both Teams To Score - No at Parken. Wales arrive with a raft of injury concerns after a tough night against Portugal, where they mustered next to nothing going forward. That points towards a low-scoring affair in which Denmark's back line can keep things tidy at one end.
Denmark vs Wales Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder backs Denmark to win, Rasmus Højlund to score anytime, both teams to score and Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card at Parken.
Denmark are the clear favourites at home and should have enough to see off a Wales side low on confidence and goals, making the hosts the natural anchor for the bet builder.
Rasmus Højlund leads the Danish line and was on the scoresheet against Norway, so backing the striker to find the net again looks a sensible leg.
Both teams to score adds some value, with both sides carrying enough attacking threat to trouble one another over 90 minutes.
Ethan Ampadu anchors the Welsh engine room, where the physical challenges of that role make the midfielder a strong candidate for a booking.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 16/1 and is as short as 11/1 elsewhere.

Denmark vs Wales Talking Points
Brian Riemer faces real pressure to plug the defensive gaps that saw Denmark ship three goals against Norway, and how the hosts tighten up will go a long way to deciding this one. At the other end, Rasmus Højlund carries the goal threat after netting in that opener and looks the man most likely to punish a Welsh back line missing bodies. Craig Bellamy, meanwhile, must find an attacking answer after a night in Lisbon where his Cymru side offered so little going forward, with Dan James and Sorba Thomas among those who could freshen up the front line.
