On Saturday, October 12, Spain and Denmark go head-to-head in a crucial UEFA Nations League match at Estadio Nueva Condomina in Murcia, Spain. This clash is significant as both teams are vying for top spot in Group A4. Denmark currently leads the group with two wins, having beaten Serbia and Switzerland by 2-0 scorelines, while Spain is two points behind after a scoreless draw with Serbia and a recent win against Switzerland.
Spain is facing significant challenges due to injuries. Key players like Rodri and Dani Carvajal are out with serious knee ligament injuries, and other key players such as Nico Williams, Ferran Torres, and Bryan Gil are also absent due to various injuries. Additionally, Dani Olmo and goalkeeper Unai Simon are sidelined with muscle and wrist injuries, respectively. Despite these setbacks, Spain remains a strong contender, with players like Pedri, Fabian Ruiz, and Alvaro Morata expected to lead the charge.
Denmark, ranked No. 20 in the world by FIFA, is making a strong push up the rankings. However, they too have their share of injuries, with Joachim Andersen and Christian Norgaard withdrawing from the squad due to injuries sustained in club games. Andreas Christensen is also out with Achilles tendonitis, and former captain Simon Kjaer and midfielder Thomas Delaney have retired from international football after Euro 2024.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 p.m. local time, and it will be broadcast on various channels globally, including FS1 in the USA, Viaplay in the UK, and Sony Ten 1 in India. Fans can also stream the match on platforms like Fubo, DAZN, and Optus Sport.
Bookmakers favor Spain to win, with odds indicating a 71% likelihood of a Spanish victory. However, Denmark’s recent form and Spain’s injury woes make this match an intriguing one to watch.
