Cardiff City Stadium hosts Wales vs Denmark on Sunday night, with the Nations League group finely poised and the visitors priced up as favourites.
Wales arrive buoyant after coming from behind to beat Norway 2-1 on Thursday. That result ended a six-game winless run in all international competitions.
Denmark are nursing a 4-2 home defeat to Portugal, having hauled themselves level before falling away late. Brian Riemer's side have won just one of their last five international matches.
Wales, Denmark and Norway went into this weekend level on three points. History sides with the visitors, though: Denmark have won their last four matches against Wales in all competitions.
Wales vs Denmark Form
Wales finally have something to build on. Dan James and Neco Williams scored as Craig Bellamy's side came from behind against Norway, sealing a first-ever win in League A of the Nations League. Williams is doing the dirty work too, putting in 3+ tackles three games running at this level.
Denmark's attack is still doing its job. They have scored 2+ goals in 3 of their last 3 matches in UEFA Nations League A, and Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Højlund were both on target in the Portugal defeat. The worry is a back line that cracked late on in Copenhagen, which is exactly what Wales will look to exploit.

Wales
Harry Wilson remains doubtful after missing the Norway game, and goalkeeper Karl Darlow has joined the Welsh injury list. The bigger talking point for the Wales vs Denmark lineups is up front, where Craig Bellamy could recall Brennan Johnson and Kieffer Moore to bolster the attack.
Denmark
Denmark have a seven-man injury list to contend with. Brian Riemer is likely to recall Victor Froholdt and Gustav Isaksen, which adds legs in the engine room and pace on the right.

Wales vs Denmark Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Wales 1-2 Denmark. Bellamy's side deserve credit for the Norway result, but the visitors carry more attacking quality and the far stronger record in this fixture, so our Wales vs Denmark prediction is an away win. Denmark are 1/1 with Coral, and that price looks fair rather than generous.
Best Bets
Back Denmark to win and under 3.5 total goals in the Match Result and Over/Under 3.5 market. Denmark have won their last four matches against Wales in all competitions, and their attack has the edge here. Our projected 1-2 sits neatly inside the goals line, so this pairs the result we fancy with a sensible ceiling on the scoring.
Back a spot-kick to be awarded during the match via the Yes selection in the Penalty In Match market. Højlund draws plenty of contact leading the line and has been fouled at a healthy clip through this Nations League campaign, while Dan James' directness down the Welsh flank adds another route into the box. That combination of physical presence and direct running is the punchier angle among our Wales vs Denmark best bets.
Wales vs Denmark Bet Builder
Our Wales vs Denmark bet builder tips combine a Denmark win, Rasmus Højlund to score, both teams to score and Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card.
Denmark to win. Their firepower is the difference between these sides, and it can carry them through in Cardiff even with a seven-man injury list.
Rasmus Højlund to score anytime. He got on the scoresheet against Portugal and has found the net regularly in this Nations League campaign while leading the line in the probable XI.
Both teams to score is 8/11 with Spreadex and fits our scoreline call. Wales have Dan James and Kieffer Moore to test a Danish defence that just shipped four to Portugal.
Ethan Ampadu to be shown a card. He anchors the Welsh engine room and will be tasked with breaking up Danish transitions, which usually means a tactical foul at some stage.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 37/2 and is as short as 15/1 elsewhere.

Wales vs Denmark Talking Points
The Wales vs Denmark betting odds put the visitors in charge, but Craig Bellamy will not be changing his approach. After the Norway win he said keeping a brave, front-foot identity against top European opposition mattered more than the result itself. Dan James, who scored his 11th senior international goal in that game, is the man to carry it out. For Brian Riemer, the concern is the back line after Denmark conceded four in a single international for the first time against Portugal. Give Wales room to run in behind and they can hurt Denmark, but Højlund and company carry more quality, and that is why we side with the visitors.
