Portugal lead Group 4
Portugal are top of Group 4 after taking six points from their opening two matches. Their latest result was a 2-1 victory away to Norway, extending a strong start to the campaign.
The Selecao are beginning a new era under Jorge Jesus, who took charge in July after Roberto Martinez left following Portugal’s failure at the 2026 World Cup. The team will travel to Copenhagen with maximum confidence as they look to strengthen their position at the summit.
Denmark, by contrast, have collected three points from their first two games, with one win and one defeat. They are already under pressure and remain affected by their failure to qualify for the World Cup after losing a March 2026 play-off against Czechia.
Brian Riemer’s side are rebuilding and have little margin for error at home. Another defeat would make it harder for them to stay in touch with the group leaders, while victory would bring them back into contention.
Even record since 2006
The nations have produced a closely contested series of competitive fixtures since 2006. Across 10 official meetings, Portugal have won five and Denmark four, with one match ending in a draw.
That narrow Portuguese advantage does little to separate the teams ahead of their latest encounter, with the historical record pointing to another tight contest.
Africafoot’s pre-match assessment gives a draw as the most likely outcome, with a 1-1 scoreline predicted. Portugal’s form makes them favourites on paper, but Denmark’s need for points and home advantage could make the match difficult for the visitors.
The published betting prices list Denmark at 3.25 to win, a draw at 3.50 and Portugal at 1.86.
